New Year Swimmers at Coney Island 2008
Brace yourself for the start of the New Year by joining New York’s eccentrics as they plunge into the freezing cold sea at Stillwell Ave and the Boardwalk on Coney Island. Or better still, just watch and wonder.
This annual winter event takes place at the southernmost tip of Brooklyn at the former New York Aquarium and is organised by The Coney Island Polar Bear Club, who brave the icy waters every Sunday from October to April. The bathers meet at Stillwell Ave and the Boardwalk on Coney Island, down the block from Nathan’s.
Certainly one of the city’s more bizarre New Year events, it can do wonders for the fuzzy head which traditionally greets New Year’s Day.
