Each participant must raise a minimum of $50 for the privilege to plunge.  This is a fundraiser – and there are prizes for the most money raised, so don’t stop there! 

Use this Pledge Form to capture your pledges and bring with you.  Supporters can also donate online. 

Everyone must sign a Polar Plunge Waiver.  If you are under the age of 18, you must have the Release Form signed by your parent or guardian.

For those locations using a pool, participants will enter the pool two at a time (you may jump off a pool ladder or slowly climb down the ladder).  Participants exit the other side of the pool.  The pool is 4 ½ feet deep.

For those locations using a river, you will enter the water up to four at time by going down a boat ramp.

Participants may stay in the water for as long as they prefer, within established safety guidelines (although almost everyone exits very quickly!) 

No Diving permitted.

Attire: Swimsuit or shorts (with t-shirt if you prefer). No wetsuits.

Costumes are encouraged for those who want to provide some entertainment (and maybe win a prize!)

Bring a robe or jacket… great to have while waiting to plunge.

Shoes to wear while waiting in line as your feet may get cold.  If plunging at a location using a river, it is highly recommended that you wear shoes at all times.

Everyone will have access to a changing area immediately following their plunge, so bring a towel and extra clothing.

Arrive early to register and avoid the lines.

Be ready for a memorable experience!
