| What to Wear
Wearing shoes is strongly encouraged – the sand is cold
and you never know what is hidden under the water.
No wetsuits allowed
Costumes are encouraged for the contest but discouraged for the
actual Plunge as bulky material can be dangerous (just ask Sponge
Bob) to the wearer. The costume contests are held before the plunge
in order to allow participants to change out of costumes prior
to jumping in the lake.
Lewd or indecent bathing suits or outfits are not permitted.
Please remember that this is a family event. Participants who
disregard this policy will be asked to cover up or be asked to
leave.
How far do I have to go into the water?
We do not have any depth requirements for the Plunge. Instead,
we leave it up to the comfort level of the individual participant.
Some choose to go all the way under, while others go ankle-deep
and then go home. They are all Plungers in our book!
No diving
allowed!
How old do you have to be to Plunge?
While we do not have any age restrictions, participants under
the age of 16 must have written consent from a parent or legal
guardian. Over the years, many young children have participated
quite safely and we defer to the parents on what makes the most
sense for their family. Remember, Plunging can mean dipping a
hand or a big toe, which is plenty of cold water for a little
one!
Where/how do I turn in my money on Plunge
day?
Any monies you have in-hand should be turned in at the Registration
which will be held in the Lakeside Room at Pelican’s Landing
Restaurant. This includes cash, checks, and money orders. Credit
card donations are also accepted at Registration.
