Rene Flores made his veteran brothers and sisters of Team RWB proud today. Or at least glad they’re not him! After the plunge Rene exclaimed” I feel like I have new skin and I’m full of energy!” Brrr!

Rene joined the Coney Island Polar Bear Club as they took to the surf at 1pm today. Sunday’s plunge was the coldest recorded Valentine’s Day in over a century!

Don’t they look like they’re having fun?!

Rene wanted us to share some of these pictures. Some taken by fellow plungers Robbie Pope Bailey and Jim McDonnell.
