    “So what is it like to swim in one of, if not the largest, Christmas Day Swims down here on the South Coast of the UK in Exmouth? With thanks to a brave swimmer, Miranda Wood from www.exmouthchristmaslights.co.uk, we have footage of the build up, the swim and the mayhem that happens afterwards!” See exmouthchristmasdayswim.co.uk
