Retired pool store and commercial pool maintenance guy.
I don't think so! One of my co-workers is going to do a polar-bear swim for charity:
"Hello Friends and Family,
Thank you so much to everyone that has participated in supporting my husband, XXXX and I in the 2009 Polar Bear Plunge. As you know, this is not something we do for kicks. The Special Olympics are benifiting from all of your generoisity. To date, we have raised over $2000 between the both of us. Our team, The Little Silver Crocs, are over $29,000 so far and are the leading team in the fundraiser. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We make our arctic plunge next Saturday Feb 28th. We'll be in Seaside Heights NJ and it would be great to see a lot of friendly faces cheering us on. "
So you see...them 'gators are nuthin' but swim toys to these hardy folks--or should I say "maniacs"!

Those people are nuts!! Kudos to them for the fundraising efforts, but I really think there has to be something more sensible that they could do!!

Amazingly enough she is still alive and working! Wow! She's got 2 little kids, too, both younger than my little guy (who's now the ancient age of 4--big bro will be 14 next month)
