The Vancouver Polar Bear Swim is one of the largest and oldest Polar Bear Clubs in the world. Its initial swim was in 1920 when a small number of hardy swimmers took the plunge into English Bay on New Year's Day. Led by their founder, Peter Pantages, the swim has grown from around 10 swimmers in that year to the record number of 2,128 official entries in 2000. This year, the Polar Bear swim takes place at 2:30pm on Friday 1st January 2010. Nancy has stated that this is on her "bucket list" and plans to take a dip in the cold water. And this is where the question comes.... should I join her? Anthony has also laid down the gauntlet by using blackmail, saying that he will only do it, if I do! What do you think?
