L Street Brownies Shake Off Cold For Polar Plunge

SOUTH BOSTON (WBZ) ― The L Street Brownies braved the cold once again and kicked off the New Year with their traditional plunge into Boston Harbor Tuesday.

Dozens of men, women, and children took the quick dash along the beach into the chilly water in South Boston just after 9 a.m. - when the water temperature was about 41 degrees.

The polar plunge has been held for more than 100 years. The Brownies say they are the oldest polar bear swimming club in America.

Several swimmers used the event to raise money for charity.
