Polar Bear Plunge Day in Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach, Florida – This weekend, dozens of beachgoers splashed into 2022 in Pompano Beach.

Saturday morning people of all ages were running across the sand and toward the water as part of the 22nd annual Under the Sun Polar Bear Swim.

This event was initially started in 1985 as a joke when many people in New York take part in the Polar Bear Swim into the freezing Hudson River.

Some people in South Florida do the same, only in the warm water.
