If you've never participated in a pool plunge, no worries, it's as simple as it sounds. Our team will pop up two above ground pools for plungers to spash in support of 20,000 athletes. Here are a few things to note:

  • Plungers will jump into the pool one at a time which means everyone gets their own 60 seconds of fame!
  • Diving and flipping is NOT permitted.
  • Safety divers will be in the pools to keep all safe throughout the event.
  • Plungers must be able to lift themselves up a ladder in order to exit the pool.
