Swimmers brave the cold at Kenwood Ladies’ Pond for annual New Year’s Day tradition

Ladies at a Hampstead Heath pond kicked off 2014 with an annual New Year’s Day swim.

Members of the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association began the year with a cold splash yesterday, donning their swimming costumes for a swim in the Ladies’ Pond at midday.
