Bring your fur coat and fur swim suits too.
Kids can do it. Guardians as well.
They all can't be wrong. It is a blast.
Jumping into the Mon. Go feet first.
It is a plunge and a quick u-turn. Never swim alone.
Ian is a rock star. Bring your friends.
For that extra aerobic animal fix, run from the Downtown on the Mon Wharf to the South Side.
We love the Brickners. Don't know this guy.
Bravo to those who made it and took a swim!
This event is epic, and both a Pittsburgh thing as well as a world-wide experience.
Some years are way colder than others.
