Description: The "Plunge" happens when all the thousands of plungers race into the Atlantic Ocean, within a safety perimeter established by EMS dive team members from around the state. Plungers set their own personal goals of how deep to go and how long they want to stay in (within the limits established by the EMS divers). Some plungers only get their ankles wet; others stay in and play until the dive team members make them leave the water. Diving into the shallow ocean water is prohibited and going completely underwater is discouraged since it makes it harder for the divers to determine individuals in distress.
The 2012 Polar Plunge is on Feb 4, 2012. The festival area opens at 10a.m.; the actual Plunge happens at 2:30 p.m. And don’t miss the Friday night (Feb. 3) Polar Plunge Party, the Saturday morning 5K or the 20th Anniversary Saturday Night Beach Bash. More details
