Ice Dive 2012

Each year on New Years Day the ALARC fitness club puts on an event at Lake Minnetonka called the Ice Dive.  Participants put on swim suits and/or costumes, jump into the lake, swim a short distance and then quickly get out.  The event can be extremely cold making it a real challenge to participate.  This year's event was warmer than most recent ones temperature wise, but there was a biting wind chill that made it nasty to stand around on the dock waiting in line to jump-in.  Below are some images taken by Forrest Pearson and myself, members of the Crosstown Camera Club.
