2017 Gar Woods Polar Bear Swim: Cold & Crazy

The 29th Annual Gar Woods' Polar Bear Swim, held every year during the North Lake Tahoe Snowfest, again delivered on its promise of a wild and wacky good time.

Competitors of all ages braved winds, waves, and Lake Tahoe's 39-degree water for bragging rights, prizes and the crowd's approval. As the cheers provided inspiration, all finished (some early, some late) with three men and three women as prize winners.

Tahoe TV was there to catch the spirit and action of the popular annual occasion.

NOTE: Winner's names will be posted upon receipt (sorry).
