LSL Polar Bear Plunge
Enjoyed the Polar Bear Plunge Saturday at the Lake Saint Louis Community Association. It’s the first time we’ve gone and we couldn’t believe the turnout. We parked about three blocks away.
We were thinking that a whole bunch of people would run into the lake and run back out and then it would be over. But they had about 30 teams, each taking a turn running in and out of the water.
It made sense then. The water guard and emergency crews would only need to keep track of a few heads at a time instead of a large crowd splashing around.
Though they only got in and out very quickly, many did dive to make sure they were all-the-way wet.
The costumes were creative. We saw: a penguin, Alvin & the chipmunks, Fred Flintstone and Barney, a hockey player, cupid, a kilted man, Superman and Batman to name just a few.
I guess the water was clean enough to get into? Maybe they didn’t lick any lake water off their lips? Ewww.
I was glad when they finished. It was getting a bit chilly.
