Plunge Tips

• ARRIVE EARLY! Everyone will be eager to get in the water!
• Bring a robe or an extra towel.  You can wear it while you wait in line, and drop it just before you jump into the water.
• Bring layered, loose fitting clothing for after the plunge! It’s easier to get into when your fingers are freeeeezing!
• Plunge with a team…it’s more fun!
• A warm tent will be on site to warm your bones after the plunge.
• Polar Plunge is not responsible for your lost or stolen property. Leave valuables at home!
• Bring a disposable, waterproof camera that you can carry with you…even if your “handlers” can’t get a close-up of you in the water, feel free to ask a fellow Plunger to capture your big moment on film
