FAQ's
How do I plunge into an open body of water?
You MUST Wear Shoes to Plunge. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
You will walk or run from the water entrance into the water with your team. NO DIVING!
Our friends from the Fire Dept Rescue team establish the perimeter and the depth for the Plunge (usually chest or shoulder deep). They determine if ground in the water is even and if there are no drop-offs in water level.
Plunge teams (usually 6-9 at a time) will set their belongings down near the water entrance. After you Plunge, gather your items, and head to the heated changing tents.
What do I wear to plunge?
You MUST wear shoes to Plunge. Plungers often wear fun costumes, team t-shirts or bathing suits. NO DIVING SUITS, NO WET SUITS!

Please bring a towel, change of clothes, dry shoes, and a bag for wet clothes.
Where do I change after my plunge?
