Polar Bear Plunge
The ninth annual Polar Bear Plunge will be held Saturday in the outdoor Boro Beach pool at SportsCom.

This year, the big slides at the new outdoor pool will take the plunge to a whole new level. Brave men, women and children from around the area will don costumes and swimwear and take “polar” dips for families who benefit from Murfreesboro City Schools’ Family Resource Centers.

The Polar Bear Plunge is open to anyone 5 years or older. For plungers under 18 years, a waiver must be signed by a parent or guardian.

Each Polar Bear is required to bring nonperishable food items for the Family Resource Centers.

All plunging Polar Bears can purchase an official Polar Bear Plunge commemorative T-shirt on the day of the event.

In addition to the plunges, there will be the Arctic Adventure with games and activities for the whole family and the “coolest costume” contest.  

SportsCom is located at 2310 Memorial Blvd., in Murfreesboro.
