In the Netherlands the 1st of January is traditionally celebrated with a new year's dive ('Nieuwjaarsduik'). No matter how cold it is, at least 25.000 people plunge into the freezing water each January. The largest lake dive is held at the beach Lake Oosterplas in s-Hertogenbosch. All participants in the Unox New Year's Dive receive a Unox cap!
The Dutch tradition started in 1960 in Zandvoort when a swim club decided to start the year fresh with a plunge in the sea. The new year's dive received national attention after a big soup brand decided to sponsor it. From that moment on, the amount of participants and locations has increased every year.
