polar bear plunge
Icy water immersion
A polar bear plunge is a organized event where people jump into freezing cold water, typically during winter months.
These plunges often take place on New Year's Day or as charity fundraisers: The annual polar bear plunge raised thousands for the children's hospital.
The name evokes polar bears swimming in icy Arctic waters.
