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.
