There are a variety of elixirs for a New Year Eve hangover; a cold beer, an Alka Seltzer, or a Bloody Mary. Didn’t work that well? This year, try the ultimate hangover cure, sponsored by the City of Avalon and the Catalina Island Swim Club. Try the Polar Swim and Polar Plunge.
The Polar Swimmers will gather at Casino Point on New Year’s Day at 7:15 a.m. for a half to 1-mile swim. Wet suits and any swimming attire is acceptable.
The Polar Plunge will take place at Middle Beach at 11:30 a.m.
In January 2018, there were approximately 10 Polar Swimmers and nearly 30 Polar Plungers.
