DO: → Wear your plunging suit under the clothes you wear to the event – then you don’t have to change into it just to change right back out of it. → Wear a costume! We have a costume contest from 1:00 PM to 1:30PM – so be sure to be there and enter to win! When choosing your costume though, please keep these guidelines in mind: lewd or indecent bathing suits, outfits, or costumes are not permitted. Please remember that this is a family event. Participants who disregard this policy will be asked to cover up, or will be escorted from the park. → Choose your “Plunge Day” outfit (or post-plunge gear) with this in mind – you will be cold, so loose-fitting, easy-on clothes without a lot of snaps, zippers or buttons are best. When the fingers and toes don’t work so well, it’s not easy to get some of that stuff back on! → Bring a loose pair of shoes to wear after the Plunge – something easy to slip on → Carpool with a group of friends. → Visit the merchandise tent and see the other entertainment there. Make a whole day of this event and enjoy yourself! There will be games, activities, and athletes on hand to mix and mingle with all day.
DO NOT: → Do NOT dive in – this is a safety regulation and will be enforced by the safety team! Beyond that, remember that a Plunge is whatever you want it to be, so there is no pressure to fully submerge yourself. → Do NOT run into the water, there might be things in the water that you cannot see.
THINGS TO BRING: → A plastic bag for wet clothes. → A backpack to hold street clothes and your new long sleeve Plunge shirt! → A towel – bring at least one to dry off with → River shoes to wear for going into the water → Extra pair of shoes to change back into → Clean dry under garments to wear after Plunging. A disposable waterproof camera that you can carry into the Plunge Zone with you. Ask a fellow Plunger to capture your big moment on film for you!
DAY OF EXPECTATIONS: → Registration opens at 11:00am and all plungers must be signed in by 1:00pm → There will be a few contests being held from 1:00pm to 1:30pm. → There will be a short program and safety briefing from approximately 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm → The actual plunge itself will take place between 2:00pm and 3:30pm → You only have to go in as far as you want to → There will be concessions and drinks available for purchase at the park. → Gate fee for cars is waived for anyone attending the Polar Plunge for Saturday, February 19th only! → If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign a waiver before you can participate! → And most importantly – have fun!
