Alice Goodridge, from Newtonmore in the Highlands, has been braving the freezing waters near her home despite the severe conditions sweeping across the country.
The 33-year-old business owner has been outdoor swimming since taking on a challenge to cross the English Channel in 2010.
She attempts to take a dip every day throughout the year, and is currently having to first break up the thick ice using tools.
Take a look at these pictures of Alice braving the elements to do what she loves.

6. Safety first
Alice is urging other people to try outdoor swimming, but to first make sure it is safe by contacting someone who is already experienced at swimming in the area. Photo: Jane Barlow
