DOZENS of hardy swimmers braved the cold for the New Year's Day swim at Sandown Pier.
Raising money for Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat, the dedicated group met at The Royal Pier Hotel before the noon swim and returned to the hotel afterwards for hot drinks.
A spokesperson for Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat said: "Well done to everyone that supported the New Year's Day swim at Sandown Pier and a big thank you to the Royal Pier Hotel.
"And there were some great outfits. Happy New Year."
