Hints for Jumpers |
 |
| The swim
is at 2:00pm but arrive early |
 |
|
The swim itself will begin exactly at 2:00pm
- but get there by 1:00pm for registration, assignment
of a jumper number and to turn in all donations. *You
cannot jump without a number. T-Shirts will be given to
all jumpers with $100 or more in donations. **There
will be NO registrations after 1:45pm** |
|
| Protective
footwear |
| |
|
Wear something on your feet, i.e., old tennis
shoes or "aqua socks," etc. to prevent cuts on your feet
from the ice and to prevent your feet from sticking to
the snow and ice on shore. |
|
| Warm Clothes
and boots after swim |
| |
|
Have warm/dry change of clothes and shoes/boots
to put on once you get out of the lake. Fleece works great!
|
|
| Blanket
to sit on and a towel to dry off with |
| |
|
Bring a towel and old blanket to put down somewhere
by the shoreline to use as a seat before/after the swim.
You could learn the hard way by getting your swimsuit
frozen to the ground with you in it! |
|
| Do you
wear glasses? |
| |
|
If you wear glasses, we suggest you obtain an
"athletic strap" or something similar to hold them to
your face, or not wear them at all! It is quite difficult
to find glasses that have been been dropped in the water.

|
| Set up
camp |
| |
|
Once you get to the jump, find a place for your blanket
and stuff this will save you mass confusion at the last
minute and give you a fun photo opportunity Enjoy · This
is a fun event for a good cause so once you have your
spot, there will be T-shirts, food, and hot chocolate/coffee
for a small donation. In addition we will have a 50/50
raffle as well as many other raffle prizes Savor the moment
· Finally, your jumper number is called up and the swim
will be over before your goose bumps know what hit them,
so savor the moment out in the lake in front of your fellow
Polar Bears - "High Fives" and "Loud Cheers" never feel
so good and you've got 365 days* until next time! |
