BRAVE souls have plunged into the water in Carnlough harbour on the north Antrim coast for their annual charity fundraiser.

The event is organised by Ballymena Spina Bifida Association to raise funds for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus and is in its 44th year.

A crowd gathered to encourage a group of around 50 swimmers who jumped in wearing a range of novelty hats. None of which kept out the cold.
