KINGMAN – The Polar Dip is now 24 old and counting with participation increasing each year. This annual event has blossomed into a widely attended event to bring in the New Year on Wednesday, January 1! The “Dip” is open to anyone interested in starting off their new year in a “chilling” way by braving the near-freezing waters of Centennial Pool. The event is free for everyone but recommend you be in good health to participate. Warm showers, hot cocoa, popcorn, and prizes await all participants. Spectators get to enjoy the view and cheer on the brave souls. The event will take place at exactly noon on New Year’s Day, not a minute before or after the hour!
The Dip is usually over within minutes so don’t be late!
Note: The brisk water temperatures may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a heart condition or history of heart related problems, the Polar Bear Dip may not be the activity for you to participate in. If unsure that the shock of cold water may be harmful to your health, you should consult your physician prior to participating. All plungers do so at their own risk.
