About Polar Plunge

Every year, hundreds gather on the frosty shores of Lake George for a daring New Year's Day swim, known as the Polar Plunge. Typically, about 1,000 participants take part.

Don't Forget!

• Wear your swimsuit under your clothes.
• Bring easy to get into warm clothes (and shoes!) for after the Plunge.
• For your own safety, never dive into the water.
• Bring a plastic bag for wet clothes, and somewhere to store your dry clothes.
• Bring along a disposable, waterproof camera.
• Have fun!
