In photos – Shamrock wow! The Darkside Dippers take on the chilly temperatures as they hit Lake Banook as part of their weekly dips! (and fundraiser!)
The brave took on the cold today, some new and some veterans, as part of a growing trend said to promote health, such as arthritis relief, mental health and other inflammatory ailments for example, in a safty focused polar dip.
The Darkside Dippers meet every Sunday at Lion’s beach, between Senobe & Banook (close to the boat club) for 11am (new time) and hit the water in shifts!
