Description

Are you a thrill seeker? Do you take on any dare thrown your way? Do you want to provide free swimming lessons to a child in need?

Well, we have a perfect way for you to start off the new year right! Take the plunge with us on January 4, 2025 into the 40-degree (or possibly colder) waters of the Sierra Vista Pool. Have the option to jump in or take on the challenge of going down one of the slides! You can event challenge your friends, family, or co-workers to take the plunge with you by adding on an extra $20 to your donation. Here are all the different ways you can participate:

• $60 to take the plunge and nominate someone to join you
• $50 to take the slide plunge
• $40 to take the plunge
• $20 to get out of taking the plunge (someone nominated you)
• $40 to get out of the plunge and pass along your nomination to someone else
• $10 for a cold bucket plunge and be entered in a raffle to win a prize

The doors will open at 10:30 a.m. and ,for all daring participants, the plunge will happen at 11:00 a.m. We will accept day of registrations. The pool has been prepared, cleaned, and returned to swimmable standards comparable to the summer season; the only thing missing is the heat! The pool should be between 40-45 degrees, depending on the weather.

Refreshments, including hot coca and snacks, will be provided. There will be awards for best costume, largest group, largest family, and the largest donation!

This is a fundraising event for the Shanta Strong Swim Fund, a swim lesson scholarship fund for children in need. Most of the proceeds will go directly into this fund while about 10% will be used to provide special enrichment items for the BioPark Zoo polar bear and penguins.
