Yesterday, around 10,000 people took part in the Unox New Year’s Dive, starting 2017 with a splash into cold water. A cold wind and water temperature around 0 degrees did not deter the enthusiastic participants.
In 142 locations throughout the country, thousands took part in this annual tradition, with the most popular location being Scheveningen. Hundreds of volunteer lifeguards took part as well.
Unox has sponsored the event since 1998 and the 3 euro entry fee at Scheveningen included the bright orange beanie, 1 euro donation to charity, a goody bag and a warm soup after the dive.
