The Polar Dip is held at the Mahogany Beach Club (29 Masters Pk SE, Calgary), on February 1st, 2025.

More information on the day's timeline will be distributed closer to the date.

You can wear a costume, a bathing suit, or your normal clothes! Do not wear anything that will drag you down in the water, any electronics that could be ruined, or any valuables that you could potentially lose after jumping in!

We have a crew of professional divers in the water for the duration of the dip, who will help monitor and rescue dippers, if needed. We also have an EMS team present in case of emergencies.

Diving is prohibited, as the water is not deep enough to dive safely. Dippers must jump into the water.

You must be 18 or older and be properly registered to participate in the dip . It is best to sign up on our website prior to the vent (the button to sign up is at the top of the page) to give the most time to fundraise. As long as there's space, last minute registration can also be done on the day of the dip!

Yes! Please bring your friends and family to watch! We will have bleachers at the dip site for them, so please ensure they dress for the weather. There is also indoor facilities at the Mahogany Beach Club, including a meeting room where prizes will be distributed and information about the day will be imparted.

Bring clothes for your dip and a separate set of dry clothes for after! We encourage each of our participants to bring a towel to help dry off, as well.

We will have a public meeting area where you can store some of your belongings, but as we do not have security or lockers, it is best to leave them in the care of a friend or family member.

There are restrooms where you can change back into your dry clothes after the dip.
