A video can be seen on the Capital News 9 website of the 1/1/2008 event.

Despite the heavy snow and bad driving conditions, we had about 650
swimmers.

By the time of the swim, the lake, which had been clear at 9 am, was
coated with a thick layer of slush from the snow. One person described
it as "swimming in a Slushie."

The most ironic thing I kept hearing was from people saying they
wouldn't go swimming because it was snowing. Where is the logic in
that? They'll go swimming in freezing cold water, but not if it's
snowing?

The next swims are in February, during Winter Carnival, every Saturday
and Sunday at 3pm.
