The swim was organised by the Dresden branch of the German Lifeguard Association (DLRG), and was held on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the organisation. The city's intrepid swimmers were unable to do the swim on January 1 due to the Elbe flooding. Dressed in colourful costumes, they ran into the water to swim one of two different routes - a 400-metre or an 800-metre course. Twenty-eight swimmers rose to the challenge of the longer course in water of just three degrees Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit). Seventy-five swimmers opted for the 400-metre course. The air temperature dropped as low as minus seven degrees Celsius (19 degrees Fahrenheit), according to German broadcaster RTL. Participants were treated to hot tea and food after completing their swim. The youngest swimmer was 16 and the oldest, 69.(****END****)
