Let’s do it, again Seattle!
The Polar Bear Plunge is returning in 2022 with the Polar Bear Plunge DIY Kit.
Since large gatherings can still be risky, we want to make sure you have a chance to participate in this January 1st tradition and earn that “badge of courage” but in a way that keeps us all safe.
Our specially made Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Kit can be picked up at Meadowbrook Pool and contains everything you’ll need: a specially designed, limited edition Polar Bear Plunge Badge of Courage, polar bear vitamins, instant hot cocoa, celebratory noise maker and “how to” instructions for alternative methods of cold water emersion or suggestions for safely gathering in a small group at the lake.
Why do it?
- It’s still the best way to celebrate the new year! And just like last year, you can participate any time – anywhere!
- You still get the Badge of Courage! Now in our 20th year!
- You’ll feel good about staying safe during the pandemic
- You can still share the experience with friends and family and can post pics/videos to our social media
