The Kwalikum Secondary School held its Annual Grad Polar Bear Swim at the Four Poles in Qualicum Beach on Thursday afternoon.

Members of the 2020 graduating class braved the windy condition as well as the freezing cold water as they boldy dashed into the water. Some parents, teachers, students and passers-by cringed in admiration of the students, who appeared to enjoy plunging into the water.
