The annual Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day swims in Co Waterford are a long-held and very popular tradition.
Most are held in support of a worthy cause while some are organised to keep up age-old traditions, but they are all good fun and well-supported.
That was the case again in 2025 and Waterford News & Star photographer, Joe Evans was there to capture images of those in attendance.
Watch the video clip below to see some of the participants at Ballymacaw on St Stephen's Day.
Photos from the swims will also appear in the forthcoming print edition of the newspaper.
