HAWEA- Just some of the fifty swimmers who participated in the first ever Lake Hawea Community Centre Association polar plunge on Sunday at the Lake Hawea boat ramp jetty.
Organiser Ann-Maree Chatterton said they decided to organise a winter event for the community but they had no idea how many would turn up as they only took registrations on the day.
It was a gold coin donation for individual jumpers and $10 per group with money raised going to maintenance and promotion of future events at the centre, Ms Chatterton said.
