The Nieuwjaarsduik (which literally translates to New Year’s Dive), is the yearly Dutch tradition of running into the freezing winter waters to celebrate the beginning of a new year.
In the absence of the freezing water, the Dutch run into Bondi’s not so freezing NYD waters…… Always crazy especially when there are thousands of other beachgoers.
Thank you to all the extra patrollers who turned up to help today and over the last few days, you guys are awesome ❤️
Happy New Year everyone !!! cheers to a terrific year ahead in 2023
