Polar Bear Plunge

Start the new year with a refreshing challenge at Lewisville's 2026 Polar Bear Plunge. Participants are invited to take a daring dip into the icy waters at Sun Valley Aquatic Center's outdoor pool and kick off the year with an unforgettable experience. Gather your friends, bundle up, and join this chilly community tradition.

Register online here. To make the morning extra special, the first 10 registered participants will receive a free Thrive coffee cup, perfect for enjoying the complimentary hot drinks available on-site. Light refreshments will also be provided for everyone after taking the plunge.

Whether you're a seasoned "polar bear" or trying the plunge for the first time, this event is a fun and energizing way to welcome the year ahead.

Participants will only be allowed to stay in the water for up to 15 minutes total. Bring warm clothes to wear while you wait and a change of clothes if you are one of the few to brave the icy cold plunge. Note that this is a cold water event. If you have any health precautions, please make sure that you check with your provider before participating. In case of severe weather, the event will be cancelled and not rescheduled.
