The Coney Island Polar Bear Club hosts its annual New Year's Day swim in the frigid Atlantic. A $25 suggested donation benefits local Coney Island organizations, including the NY Aquarium and the Alliance for Coney Island.

Register in advance online if you want to join in officially. Watching might be more fun than plunging!

All participants are encouraged to make a voluntary donation. 

Please note that children under 18 years old must register the day of the event and have their parent or guardian present to sign the waiver.

Assemble on the Boardwalk at Stillwell Avenue, Coney Island.
