The Polar Dip is held at the Mahogany Beach Club (29 Masters Pk SE, Calgary), on February 1st, 2025 at 1 pm.

More information on the day's timeline will be distributed closer to the date.

You must wear shoes or strap-on sandals when dipping. You can wear a costume, a bathing suit, or your normal clothes! Do not wear anything that will drag you down in the water, any electronics that could be ruined, or any valuables that you could potentially lose after jumping in!

We have a crew of professional divers in the water for the duration of the dip, who will help monitor and rescue dippers, if needed. We also have an EMS team present in case of emergencies.

Diving is prohibited, as the water is not deep enough to dive safely. Dippers must jump feet first into the water.

You must be 18 or older and be properly registered to participate in the dip . It is best to sign up on our website prior to the event (the button to sign up is at the top of the page) to give the most time to fundraise. As long as there's space, last minute registration can also be done on the day of the dip!

Yes! Please bring your friends and family to watch! We will have bleachers at the dip site for them, so please ensure they dress for the weather. Your friends and family can join you in the gymnasium for before and after the polar dip. There will be a DJ and activities for everyone to enjoy; prizes will also be distributed in this the gym.

Bring clothes (must wear shoes) or costume for your dip and a separate set of dry clothes for after! We encourage each of our participants to bring a towel to help dry off, as well. (although you will receive a free towel upon exiting the water!).

We will have a changing room where you can store some of your belongings, but as we do not have security or lockers, it is best to leave them in the care of a friend or family member.
