25th Annual Polar Bear Plunge returns to Kingman

KINGMAN — The Polar Dip is now 25 years old and counting with participation increasing each year. This annual event has blossomed into a widely attended event to bring in the New Year. 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 coco, popcorn, and prizes await all participants. Spectators get to enjoy the view and cheer on the brave souls.

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. The event will take place at exactly Noon on New Year’s Day. The Dip is usually over within minutes so don’t be late! The event will be at Centennial Pool, located at 3333 Harrison St.
