LEXINGTON, S.C. (WIS) - The
2021 Lake Murray Polar Plunge is moving forward with its annual dip. However, like most events this year, there are some changes being made due to COVID-19.
The annual plunge is a fundraising event that raises money for Special Olympics South Carolina.
Organizers of the event say this year, the plunge will take place at Topspin Pool in Lexington rather than in the lake.
