More than 900 people braved the chilly ocean waters off 91st Street this week to raise funds for Atlantic General Hospital. On New Year’s Day, 910 participants – sporting costumes and bathing suits – took a plunge into the Atlantic Ocean for the 30th Annual Penguin Swim. This year, the hospital reported a gross fundraising total of roughly $109,000. “It’s incredible what the community does to support this event,” said Ryan Kirby, Penguin Swim co-chair.
