IF YOU missed the chance for a festive dip on Boxing Day, in the chilly Isle of Wight waters, don’t worry – Islanders will be taking the plunge on New Year’s Day, too.

Hundreds of hardy souls flocked to the coast for Monday's annual Boxing Day swims.

Brave swimmers and paddlers took to the December seas at Ventnor, Ryde and Shanklin, while hundreds more watched.

A dip in Sandown raised £150 for national charity Breast Cancer Now.

It's not too late to join them!
