Breda Floats 2022 (Breda Floats 2022). After Breda Drijft had to be canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the corona pandemic, the event was able to take place again on Saturday, July 23, 2022 on the water of the Nieuwe Mark near the Haven and the Spanjaarsgat in the center of the Dutch city Breda. This year there were about 1750 participants, which was slightly less than in previous years. But the fun was no less.
Breda Drijft 2022. Nadat in 2020 en 2021 Breda Drijft moest worden afgelast vanwege de corona-pandemie, kon het evenement op zaterdag 23 juli 2022 weer doorgaan op het water van de Nieuwe Mark ter hoogte van de Haven en het Spanjaarsgat in het centrum van Breda. Er waren dit jaar zo'n 1750 deelnemers en dat was wat minder dan in de voorgaande jaren. Maar het plezier was er niet minder om.

The traditional New Year's dive in Scheveningen, in The Netherlands, was cancelled for the second year due to the current strict Covid-19 restrictions. However, a couple of hundred people went into the sea this Saturday morning anyway. Some at precisely 12 o’clock and many other before or after.
Two years, tens of thousands of people went into the North Sea on the first day of 2020. This year, the organization found it again irresponsible to have so many people gathering on the beach due to the risk of contamination with the corona virus. The big sponsor Unox even came up with an alternative: a can of seawater to pour over your head at home. The so-called #thuisduik.
During the first thuisduik in 2021, only a few dozen took a genuine plunge as it was rather cold. This year, the circumstances would have been great for a record polar dive. The outside temperature was 14,7 degrees and the water relatively warm.
Although there was no official New Year's dive organized, the Rescue Squad was present. Due to the lazy atmosphere, they themselves had some fun with the “Nieuwjaarsduik in blik 2022” van Unox.

The traditional New Year's dive in Scheveningen, The Netherlands was cancelled this year due to de current Covid-19 restrictions. However, a few dozen people went into the sea this Friday morning anyway.
Last year, tens of thousands of people went into the North Sea on the first day of 2020. This year, the organization found it irresponsible to have so many people gathering on the beach due to the risk of contamination with the corona virus. The big sponsor Unox even came up with an alternative: a can of seawater to pour over your head at home. The idea was a success: within 24 hours, no fewer than 25,000 cans of seawater for the alternative New Year's dive had been ordered.
The brave one’s that did take a genuine plunge and a refreshing dip in 2021 screamed ,,It was cold, but great!"

This year there were more journalists than people actually diving.

New Year’s dive since 1920. About 2000 people participate. And in Moscow they ice dive since men can remember. After cutting a deep hole in the ice people plunge into the Moskva River (Москва).
In Scheveningen the dive started in 1965, when seven hardened men defied the cold winter to take a dive into the North Sea. It was and still is organized by the Swimming Club “Residentie”. In recent years the New Year’s dive has become very popular. It is now sponsored by Unox, a big food company. In 2020 approximately 10.000 people participated. The water temperature of 8.4° C; which is rather warm with regards to earlier dives. The outside air temperature was 2 degrees.
Since mid 90’s Unox, a big food company, sponsores the New Year’s dive. Besides the orange headgear and mittens, they afterwards served their brand of streaming hot pea soup (erwtensoep in Dutch). Traditionally eaten in winter and it has very thick consistency, often includes pork and sausage. Once someone said: "You should be able to stand a spoon upright in a good pea soup."
