Annette Sauby earns official membership
February 6, 2012

The Libby Polar Bears met Sunday for their weekly plunge at
Libby Creek bridge on Farm to Market Road, as they do every
Sunday through the winter. Super Bowl Sunday's swim was
missing a few regulars, but Annette Sauby showed up for her
12th swim of the season, earning her an official Libby Polar
Bear membership card. Chuck Haywood decided to try a Polar
Bear swim for the first time. And of course, Polar Bear Rick
was there as he is every week. Air temperature was a
moderately chilly 29 degrees, and the water was at its coldest
of the season at 35 degrees. Congratulations to Annette for 12
successful swims and to Chuck for being brave enough to try
it! There are eight swims left for the season, with the last
swim on April 1. Spectators (and swimmers) are always welcome;
2:00 p.m. Sundays on Farm to Market Road at the Libby Creek
bridge.
