More than 300 people braved the icy waters of the Atlantic yesterday when they took part in the annual Porthreath Surf Lifesaving Club Boxing Day Swim.
A long-running tradition in the village, the event also saw mulled wine, tea and coffee served in the club house on Cornwall's north coast.
Safety cover was provided by members of the lifesaving club.
Organiser Emma Phillips said: "It went really. well. We did it just to say a thank you to the village for the support we have every year.
"Everybody looks forward to coming now: People down on holiday as well as members of the village.
"There was a nice family atmosphere."
