Olcott Lions Polar Bear Swim for Sight 2017

Sponsored by the Olcott Lions Club, the Swim for Sight has become best known for its fund-raising efforts that aid the blind and visually impaired.

Hundreds of hardy swimmers brave the freezing water of Lake Ontario, each contributing funds they have collected from sponsors, friends, employers and co-workers.

Thousands of spectators gather on the shoreline to watch the zany swimmers frolic in the frigid water. Swimmers and spectators alike join the fun in the day's many activities.
