Annual New Year's Day Swim at Carnlough
In 2016, a total of 82 hardy souls went into the water at Carnlough Harbour and hundreds of spectators were in attendance to see them while a watchful eye was kept on everyone by members of the Larne Branch of the Saint John Ambulance.
The organisers hope they will see both familiar and new faces taking part.
