02 - Open All
Dreary winter days getting you down? Need something uplifting and fun and for a good cause? Don't mind breaking out your swim trunks and bikinis from storage and jumping into the cold Atlantic ocean? Then climb aboard the Polar Bear bus tomorrow at 10am for the ride to Coney Island. The Polar Bear Club welcomes any first timers for this dip as we prepare for our trip to Canada.

Definitely bring a pair of surf boots or old sneakers, warm clothes to change into, a towel, and don't forget your camera!

We swim at high noon, on the dot! All donations gathered from participants and observers (there's usually a big crowd) will be given to the Children's Hospital at St. Mary's. The bus leaves at 10am sharp! So if you miss it, I hope you can fly or teleport to Brooklyn and meet us there.

It's going to be a nice and toasty 50 degrees Fahrenheit in Brooklyn with a chance of rain. Consider bringing sunscreen ;)

	You're brain is ice-addled if you think I'm gonna jump into the ocean in the middle of winter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, come on! The water isn't even that cold. At least we're not chopping into ice to break down into the water. Saving that for Canada. The Polar Bear Club members are very ice savvy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is a thing that people actually do? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_coolguy 2013-02-23 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yes it is! For the thrill, for a good cause, for the hot chocolate that will be served afterwards for survivors. Don't worry, we have an ice lifeguard on duty at all times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_coolguy 2013-02-25 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! And they'll even let observers donate. I encourage it, actually, or you run the risk of getting dunked, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_coolguy 2013-02-25 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	OH YES! The Polar Bears want to swim where actual polar bears swim! So I got special permission to make a small field trip north. You wanna come? You can fly for us. This dip is just a precursor to Canada, and 'cause no one lives up there, so we won't have any observers making donations to our charities ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	boxedin 2013-02-25 01:43 pm UTC (link)
	How far North are you going on your field trip? And I know your joking about no one living way up there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Yeah, that'd be too much like some of the torture Weapon X put me through. No thanks.~~ I'd be happy to take pictures for anyone taking part. If anyone wants to remember the experience, at least. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Come on down, Nessa! We need an official photographer. Hey, you ever pick up the you-know-what from you-know-where? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooo! I can come and take part! I mean, I know the water will probably even colder than I'm used to back home, but it's totally worth it! Gotta experience everything to see if it's fun! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_coolguy 2013-02-27 01:31 am UTC (link)
	It'll be cold, but you're right! Worth it. It's actually a cathartic experience for some people! I mean... some things you know aren't fun without trying them. Like getting run over by a steamroller. (Reply to this) (Parent)
