JANUARY 1, 2013 GAINESVILLE Mary Breen (LEFT) of Decatur and Carol Verlare of Tucker, take the plunge. Participants braved 48 degree water for the 16th annual Polar Bear Swim at the Lanier Canoe & Kayak Club Tuesday Jan. 1, 2013. The 16th annual Polar Bear Swim is a New Years tradition for the club. About 100 people took a polar plunge, despite rain and temperatures in the upper 40's. The event is a fundraiser for LCKC, with proceeds going to benefit the club's youth programs and other activities. Participants warmed up in a hot tub, got an event T-shirt, a bowl of chili and a drink to warm their bones. KENT D. JOHNSON / KDJOHNSON@AJC.COM
