Brave souls took to Weymouth harbour for a festive dip on Christmas Day morning.
The popular event attracted hordes of people to the harbourside for the annual tradition - with many also enjoying a festive drink at the many bars and restaurants close by.
Last year's event was said to be a record-breaker, with more than 450 people taking part and, speaking before this year's swim, president of the Lions Club, which organises the tradition in aid of local good causes, said the 2018 event looked to be as popular as ever.
Don Laker, son of Dill Laker, began the tradition alongside Reggie Bugler when the pair swam across the harbour for a bet on Christmas Day in 1948.
