\n Don’t tell Jeb Banks it’s easy to jump in the Atlantic Ocean in January
\n just because the sun is out and the thermometer reads 50 degrees. Banks
\n and other members of the L Street Brownies, who participated in the
\n group’s 101st consecutive New Year’s dip yesterday, prefer colder days,
\n when the air temperature matches the nerve-numbing 36-degree water.<\/p>\n
"It’s easier when it’s 30 degrees. It’s less of a shock when you hit
\n the water," explained Banks, who made his sixth New Year’s dip yesterday
\n in a festive red-white-and-blue felt hat. The balmy weather drew a record
\n 600 registered swimmers and an additional 2,000 spectators who lined the
\n beach behind L Street Bathhouse in South
\n Boston for the granddaddy of New Year’s swimming events<\/p>\n
