Will you do the Polar Bear swim this New Year’s Day?
Last Jan. 1, more than 500 people welcomed the new year with a plunge into the icy Bedford Channel.
It was likely the coldest, snowiest Polar Bear swim in more than a decade, but participants didn’t seem to mind.
The Fort 91Ô´´ Polar Bear plunge was started by Fort 91Ô´´ resident Darian Kovacs, founder of Jellybean Marketing.
His idea for the local swim quickly took off and now hundreds show up to run into — and quickly out of — the icy water.
The plunge happens at noon.
