There’s something powerful about starting the New Year with a cold plunge. That shock of icy water isn’t just about toughness…it boosts your mood, fires up your energy, reduces inflammation, and gives your nervous system a full reset. It’s a reminder that you can do hard things, even when it’s uncomfortable. A quick dip on January 1st sets the tone for the whole year: clear mind, strong body, and the confidence to take on anything that comes your way. Whether you stay in for 30 seconds or five minutes, you’ll feel so good. Where: Westwood Lake - second beach
When: 10am (give you time to sleep in after staying up til midnight)
Bring a towel, easy shoes, robe or towel, change of clothes if you want.
We’ll have hot chocolate and donuts
(hoping to have a nice warm fire as well, waiting to hear back from the city on that part)
Everyone welcome! 🏊♂️
