The first swim of the day (10:15am) goes to the youngest participants. Older plungers can then follow, and may opt for anything from a tentative toe-dip to a 300 yard swim around a buoy.
* Pool admission is charged for polar bears entering the pool deck to visit, soak, or swim in the heated pool,or take a hot shower.
