Help us make history as we attempt to break the record for the largest Polar Plunge in the world!

In order to comply with the requirements for the Guinness World Record, please note the following new rules for this year’s plunge:

* NEW: Costumes  on land only , not in the water. Plungers must wear swimsuits in the water.

* NEW: There will be no plunging waves. All 1,800+ participants will plunge at one time.

* NEW: Plungers must be in waist-height water and remain in the water for 60 seconds

Sounds easy right? Then what are you waiting for?

Get a team together and sign up today!

Fun Plunge

Special Olympics Washington has applied to break the Guinness World Record for Largest Polar Plunge! To qualify, one of Guinness’ requirements is that all who plunge must be in swimwear. The heart of our organization is inclusion. If you do not feel comfortable plunging in a swimsuit we still encourage you to come down to Alki Beach on February 23rd where we will have a separate Fun Plunge. For the Fun Plunge – which will be separate from and not count toward the world record attempt – costumes IN the water will be encouraged and allowed! With food trucks, a winter beer festival, music and more, whether you stay on the beach or take the plunge, you’ll have a great time in or out of the water. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at Alki!
