Sunday Afternoon: Toronto and Ice-Capped Rocks

sunday afternoon: Richard Lautens / Toronto Star Order this photo By Megan Dolski Staff Reporter Sun., Jan. 8, 2017 It was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon on the beaches of Etobicoke as a group of swimmers stripped down and waded into the glistening waters of Lake Ontario, according to Toronto Star. It was -9C degrees outside, but felt more like -20C with the wind chill. Richard Lautens / Toronto Star Order this photo Yaro Polowianiuk makes a splash on his first dunk at the Toronto Winter Swimming Club. You could see puffs of clouded breath as swimmers giddily submerged themselves into the frigid lake next to a confused flock of lingering Canada geese floating near ice-capped rocks. No, they said, it wasn't too chilly out for a dip this was just a regular weekend meet up for Toronto's Winter Swimming Club. Those on their way out of the water exited, euphoric, but with rouge-tinted skin coloured from the cold. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
