Abcoude – Many people don’t want to think about it, yet it is becoming increasingly popular: swimming in ice-cold water. Throughout the country there are swimming groups that brave the cold and regularly take a dip in a lake, canal or river in the area. That’s called ‘dipping’. During the National Dip Day, which is being held today for the first time, swimmers collectively jump into the cold water.
It’s National Dip Day, into the cold water at 10 degrees: ‘A feeling of: yes, I’m alive!’
