In the Netherlands the 1st of January is traditionally celebrated with a new year’s dive (Nieuwjaarsduik). No matter how cold it is, at least 25.000 people plunge into the freezing water each January.

There are over 60 locations in the Netherlands where you can jump into the sea or a lake. The largest dive is held at the beach of Scheveningen, where well over 10.000 people plunge into the sea each year.

The Dutch tradition started in 1960 in Zandvoort when a swim club decided to start the year fresh with a plunge in the sea. The new year’s dive received national attention after a big soup brand decided to sponsor it. From that moment on, the amount of participants and locations has increased every year.

Het nieuwe jaar is natuurlijk niet compleet zonder de traditionele Nieuwjaarsduik.

De Nieuwjaarsduik in Scheveningen begon in 1965 op initiatief van Jan van Scheijndel, de ex-Kanaalzwemmer van de Zwemclub Residentie. De duik werd toen door zeven deelnemers genomen. In de loop van de tijd groeide de nieuwjaarsduik van enkele excentrieke fanatiekelingen tot een massaal evenement.

Ook voor de niet dappere dodo’s is het een perfect dagje uit in Scheveningen, want het is en blijft een prachtig schouwspel om al die bibberende mensen te zien.
