Sun shines on midwinter swim

The sun smiled down on the brave swimmers that turned out to the MoreFM midwinter swim at Picton’s foreshore today.

About 200 swimmers took to the icy-cold waters for bragging rights and a shot at some sweet prizes.

More FM Marlborough presenter Georgia Watt says she’s happy the weather turned it on this year, especially after last year’s rainy event.

“And it’s just nice to have events post ‘rona,” she says.

Katherine Hill, who dressed up as tomato sauce, and Paige Aitcheson – a crazy clown, both won best dressed prizes.
