He tells AM800 news how he felt when he first hit the water.
"It's cold and my heart might not take it. It was good, as soon as I got in the water my first initial thought was get out it's cold," says Newman.
A temporary outdoor pool filled with ice cold water has been set at the college's main campus.
The event continues on Saturday for the general public.
