2019 Annual La Jolla Cove Swim Club Polar Bear Swim
While I admire people who are willing to jump in the cold ocean in the middle of winter, or parade around on a chilly beach in a bathing suit, it’s not for me!
The Annual La Jolla Cove Swim Club Polar Bear Plunge is on Tuesday January 1, New Year Day. I suspect some Polar Bear Swim diehards from much colder states – MN, WI, ND, New England - might scoff, but the water is still pretty cold at this time of year for swimming without a wetsuit.
The popular La Jolla Cove Swim Club Polar Bear Plunge I accompanied by chili (potluck) that members bring, and perhaps other warm foods (the emphasis, here, on WARM), with cider and coffee being provided.
What a nice way to warm up whether you are emerging from the cold Pacific or enjoying the plunge from the beach sidelines.
The La Jolla Cove Swim Club polar bear plunge is at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores, to the north of La Jolla Cove, and is for La Jolla Cove Swim Club (LJCSC) members. It could be fun to watch – bring those cameras, and some warm clothes, perhaps to share? Maybe you will even be brave enough to dip those toes in nearby!
The La Jolla Cove Swim Club polar bear plunge is at 10 am. Here’s hoping for “warm” weather but projections are for temps ranging 46 to 62 during the day – not too bad for a SoCal winter day!!
Today, according to Surf Forecast, the sea temperature is 62, which while too cold for my taste is pretty nice if you are a polar bear!!
The Plunge is at 8200 Camino Del Oro in La Jolla Shores, La Jolla.
