MURFREESBORO– The 22nd annual Polar Bear Plunge took place on Saturday at the SportsCom outdoor pool. The temperature was a chilly 43-degrees with a slight drizzle and an easterly wind of 5-miles-per-hour, which made it feel like 40-degrees. The temperature of the water was equally cold in the low 40’s. But, that didn’t stop swimmers from taking the frigid plunge!
After the official countdown, participants jumped in! Most of the jumpers were in-and-out in a mat .
The 21st annual Murfreesboro Polar Bear Plunge is happening Saturday morning and jumping into that frigid water will help benefit local Special Olympics athletes.
