Polar Bear Swim

You can still “Jump in a lake” to benefit the New York Special Olympics. Registration is open for POLAR PLUNGE 2011 and we're Freezin’ for a Reason AGAIN! It's wild, crazy and FUN! So grab your friends, neighbors and co-workers and form a team...

There’s a big Polar Bear Swim in Silver Creek this weekend. Crazy swimmers took pledges for the variety club and will dip in the fridgid waters of Lake Erie at Noon on Sunday, then head inside to the warm confines of the Silver Creek Fireman's Club for a post party and Chili Cookoff. Our favorite part is seeing the looks of absolute horror as they dip into the frigidly cold water. We found some of the craziest pictures from Polar Bear Plunges and posted them in this gallery.
