While many dookers were dressed in novelty outfits, some proved that their swimming was not compromised by their costumes. Several swimmers demonstrated their confidence in open water by swimming right across the harbour and back, while a good few swam from the slipway right down to the end of the pier.
If the swimmers were intrepid, so too were their supporters and the spectators who turned out in very good numbers to witness the first major event on The Broughty Ferry calendar.
The dook is very well established as a major spectator event attracting crowds in their thousands to Broughty Ferry harbour every new year's day. All credit to The Phibbies for organising another safe and successful dook.
