BRAVE swimmers took to the cold waters off the Dorset coast today complete in fancy dress all in a bid to raise as much money as possible for charity.
The Lyme Lunge is an annual fancy dress swim which takes place on New Year's Day organised by Lyme Regis Rotary Club.
People took to the sea at around 1pm and has become a tradition in the town with hundreds going into the water dressed in a variety of outfits and even more people watching on.
Here is a selection of some of the images of those taking part in this year’s plunge.
