Members of the Berliner Seals swimming club, donning Santa hats, participated in their traditional Christmas swim in Lake Oranke, Berlin, despite the chilly water temperature of 5°C and air temperature of 11°C. This 40-year-old tradition was followed by carol singing and discussions about the health benefits of winter ice dipping and year-round swimming. Berliners embrace this festive, invigorating swim each Christmas Day.
