About this adventure
The City of Lakeway closes out the year with its annual Polar Bear Plunge at the Lakeway Swim Center on the morning of New Year's Eve. Instead of a simple jump, brave participants make their entrance with a brisk ride down the big slide before plunging into the cool water below. After the plunge, everyone is invited to warm up poolside with a cup of hot cocoa and celebrate the end of the year with fellow plungers. The event lasts about an hour, so it fits easily into a family's holiday-break morning. The city's page does not list a fee, age limits or registration details, so families with younger swimmers should check with the Swim Center before planning to take part.
