2011 L Street Brownies Polar Bear Swim

Boston, Mass. -- A woman rings in 2011 with a dip in Dorchester Bay at the L Street Brownie swim on Jan. 1, 2011. The 2011 swim brought the largest crowd ever, with more than 700 swimmers and about 2,000 spectators, L Street Brownies president Jack Dever said. He attributed the larger crowd to the weather, with the air temperature at 54 degrees at the time of the 10 a.m. swim. The water, however, remained a frigid 34 degrees.
