About

Absolutely! Many people start by watching to get a feel for it. Our group is supportive, and there's no pressure to plunge. We're also a social club and often meet for food and drinks after, so you can join the fun without getting wet!

Nope. Just show up! We're a casual group and all are welcome. If you want to stay in the loop, you can view our website or Facebook page. It's helpful to RSVP to events so we know to expect you, but it's not required.

Yes. We pick locations with shallow water where swimming isn't needed. Stay in spots where you can stand safely, and always plunge with others. Let the group know so we can support you! If you're nervous, try a quick dip and see how you feel. Many people find they can plunge even if they don't swim.

Polar plunging is safe and fun with a few precautions. If you have health conditions, check with your doctor first. Start with short dips, always plunge with friends, and warm up right after. Avoid alcohol, know the water conditions, and listen to your body. Risks like cold shock or hypothermia are rare if you stay prepared and keep it short.

Nope. We don't see how charging money for people to jump in cold water in a public river makes sense. We're a casual group and all are welcome.

While polar plunging is both physically and mentally challenging, it is surprisingly easy to do with an open mind and some determination. It might feel intense at first, but many find it exhilarating. Start with a quick dip and work your way up as you get used to the cold. Our group is here to cheer you on and make it a fun, supportive experience!

Our main event at Wingfield Park is on Sundays, so parking at downtown meters is free. There's ample parking available on both sides of the river.

Bring a swimsuit, towel, warm clothes for after, and sturdy footwear for getting in and out of the water. A thermos of something warm to drink and a dry bag for your belongings are also great ideas. Hand-warmers can make it easier to button your pants and tie your shoes. Don't forget your adventurous spirit!

We often change on-site or at our cars. Many bring a towel or changing robe for privacy. Some spots may have restrooms, but it's best to come prepared!
