Ouse River Plunge

Members of the Barracudas Swim Team rush out of Little Ouse River onto frozen ground in Santon Downham, Suffolk, Jan. 1, after the swim team’s annual New Year’s Day plunge. The will of 24 people, both team members and their parents, were tested when they braved the icy waters as part of the team’s annual tradition. The Barracudas are part of the European Forces Swim League, which consists of elementary through high-school age swimmers from RAFs Lakenheath and Mildenhall. The team competes against teams from across Europe.
