Hundreds of people donned their Santa hats and took the plunge into the sea for a town's Boxing Day swim.
Residents of Aldeburgh braved the chilly North Sea to raise thousands of pounds for charity.
People of all ages put on their swimming costumes and fancy dress outfits, before bounding towards the sea as the sun shined down on them for the 30th time the event was held.
A total of about £7,000 was raised for good causes such as the RNLI, Doctors Without Borders and East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
