Every New Year’s day since it started in the 1960’s, this Dutch New Year’s tradition takes place all over The Netherlands. Tens of thousands of people do the New Year’s Dive where they assemble in large groups and take a quick plunge in cold waters to mark the beginning of their year. 

Over 50,000 (Fifty Thousand) people participated in the 2023 New Year’s dive in 142 locations according to the organisers. 

It’s one of the biggest charity events in the world

This year my wife Ileen who’s part of this couples channel decided to participate even though she’s heavily pregnant! She’s insane! But for a good course

In Houten, 570 people participated and over 800 Euros was raised for charity.
