These women made a real splash - all in the name of charity.
They handed over a cheque for £105 to Dave Victor, headteacher of Lancaster special school in Prittlewell Chase, Southend.
All the women attend aquatherapy sessions run by Ann Kingsbury at the school.
Although the classes are independent from the school, they felt they wanted to donate some cash.
The money was raised through a raffle and will go towards the cost of heating repairs at the school.
Taking the plunge - Jan French, Sue Arnold, Jackie Giordmaina and Linda Bradford, with class teacher Anne Kingsbury, front, and David Victor
