First victory on New Year's Day - Nieuwjaarsduik (Hellevoetsluis/NL)

First victory on New Year's Day.

The Nieuwjaarsduik at the beach of Hellevoetsluis, just like on many other locations during this Nieuwjaarsduik event. A growing number of athletic participants plunge into the cold Haringvliet waters at noon. The event is supported by Scouting, the rescue brigade, the mayor of the city and of course a lot of audience to encourage all the participants.

Nieuwjaarsduik - New Years Day

An anual event on New Year's Day where lots of people dive for a short refreshing dip collectively into the icy cold water at twelve o'çlock, most of them wearing Unox branded winter caps and gloves and other funny outfits. This New Year's dive is a bit simular to the Polar bear plunge.
