Can’t join us in person at the Calgary Ice Breaker Polar Dip on Feb 1st, but still want to make a splash in the fight against human trafficking?
So... What is the IceBreaker Virtual Dip?
The Virtual polar dip is a version of the IceBreaker polar dip that you can do in your own home (or in frigid water of your choosing) with a support person on hand. Participants at the Calgary IceBreaker Polar dip are usually in the frigid waters for about 11 seconds. To replicate that, we are asking people to create an ice bath, talk briefly about why you are doing the dip, video yourself doing a PG rated dip in your tub (or other frigid water) for a timed 11 seconds, and finish by posting to social media and/or sending us the video.
If you have any questions at all, please reach out to info@calgaryicebreaker.com or call Mel at 403-875-5111
