Santa Clarita Aquatic Center Polar Plunge  

Residents are invited to ring in the new year by taking the plunge into the icy waters at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center during the city of Santa Clarita’s 13th annual Polar Plunge. The event will be held at the Waterslide Pool, as participants take turns walking, wading or plunging into the 45-degree water. After the plunge, lifeguards will pass out hot chocolate, coffee and doughnuts. Free beach towels will be provided to the first 100 participants. Participants are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the event. All items will be donated to the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry. Registration is required. To sign up for free, visit SantaClarita.gov/Seasons.
