Participants meet at the L Street Tavern at 8am and were then escorted down L Street by the 103rd Postal Fire Column Pipes and Drums. At 9:30am, at the L Street Bathhouse, swimmers took the ice-cold plunge wearing anything from kilts to boxers.
The temperature outside was a brisk 25 degrees by plunge time.
