Annual Ocean Dip To Take Part In La Jolla
Written by admin on December 29, 2009
Looking for a way to clear that fog from the New Year’s Eve party hangover? Join a couple hundred of your fellow San Diegans as they jump into the frigid Pacific Ocean on New Year’s Day.
The La Jolla Cove Swim Club is sponsoring the 33rd Annual Polar Bear Plunge at La Jolla Shores from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday.
Organizers anticipate about 200 swimmers, wearing little more than their summer swimwear, will run across the sand and jump into the cold ocean.
San Diego Lifeguards and volunteers will be patrolling the water in kayaks and personal watercraft to make sure all the budding polar bears return to shore.
How cold will it be? The average water temperature for this time of year is 58 degrees, according to the National Oceanic Data Center.
