The UK has recorded one of its warmest Christmas days on record, making it a little easier for swimmers to go for their annual dip.

Around a dozen Londoners have plunged into the freezing waters of the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park for an annual Christmas Day swim.

The 91.4-meter (100-yard) course has been a tradition that’s been held every year since 1864.

The Serpentine Swimming Club hosted the Peter Pan Cup on December 25th.

Meanwhile, swimmers from the Cornwall coast to Brighton also braved that water, taking their annual Christmas dip.
