2013: Polar Bear Splash.....huge "wake"/party for aftermath of demolition of boardwalk
and having survived the wrath of Hurricane Sandy
2012: Polar Bear Splash and SUPERBOWL GIANTSSUNDAY. Giants in it again this year! HUGE crowd/sea of blue for tonight's game. Wonderful spirit for a great cause, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Giants beat New England, once again. Super day!
2011: Polar Bear Splash 2011
2010: ONCE AGAIN, THOUSANDS of swimmers braved the frigid ocean waters and freezing air to support this worthy cause during this nice sunny, but FRIGID day.
2009: Great LARGE crowd Apparent attempt to break the Guiness Book of world records for this kind of event. I would guess they achieved the goal!
2008: You will notice that there was a definite GIANTS theme to the "attire" on many of the brave swimmers and their supporters (in every sense). This was SUPERBOWL SUNDAY, and I am sure the spirit of everyone there helped propel the New York GIANTS to VICTORY later that evening!
