The charity swim had been arranged to raise funds for community causes supported by Red Nose Day.
The all-female group from Loch Shin Swimmers took to the loch at around 5pm in front of a crowd of over 20 well-wishers and supporters who had gathered at the jetty.
A selection of teas, cakes and cream eggs were said to have gone down "very well" after the swim and those in attendance.
The Red Nose Day dip raised a total of £340 all told.
Loch Shin Swimmers, who try to swim twice a week depending on the weather, have completed 50 swims since the group started in August 2023.
The highest Loch temperature was 14 c in September and the lowest recorded at 1.5 c in January.
