Participants wearing Santa Claus hats and a labrador dog take part in a charity swim at the marina of the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana, outside Valletta, December 9, 2012. Some 45 people braved the cold weather to take part in the aptly-named "Santa's Swim" to raise funds for L-Istrina, a Christmas national fundraising event in aid of the President's Community Chest Fund, according to the organisers.
