The Saundersfoot New Year's Day Swim will be splashing out on the first day of 2023 to make a welcome return after its two-year Covid-enforced absence.
The huge event, which will be the 37th, was launched on Friday November 4 at the St Brides Spa Hotel, Saundersfoot.
Swim mascot Charlie Shivers was on hand to welcome this year's sponsors and the NYDS 2023 shirt was unveiled.

The event has raised many thousands of pounds for charities and good causes, with the most recent swim, in 2020, generating over £48,000 thanks to the magnificent fundraising by more than 2,000 swimmers.
Martyn Williams, chairman of Saundersfoot Festivities, said: “The swim is an important date in the calendar for the village and we are so delighted to be able to hold the event again.
"The NYDS shirt has become an integral part of promoting the swim and the financial support of the sponsors makes the whole event possible. We are so grateful for their continued support".
