More than 200 people braved the cold water for the 14th USwim event on New Year’s day at Salford Quays.
The event saw participants bring in 2025 with a splash while raising funds for charity.
This year’s chosen beneficiary was the Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust.
Event organiser Karen Quartermain said: “It is a really small charity, they supported my family when I lost my brother.”
Despite cold conditions, participants embraced the event with many confirming to Mancunian Matters they would be back next year.
