Take The Polar Plunge To Support Special Olympics At Cowabunga Bay

Author Shawn Tempesta

Not all polar plunges are created equal. In some parts of the country, the water is nearly ice. Plus there is barely any reprieve once you come up for air due to winter temps. Luckily here in the valley you get to take a dip inside a water park in April to support Special Olympics Nevada. Our Polar Plunge is a cakewalk! So there’s no excuse.

Saturday, April 8th, Cowabunga Bay Water Park will swing open its doors starting at 9:00 a.m., allowing supporters to hop into the cold (but not Atlantic Ocean cold) Spring waters of the wave pool to benefit Special Olympics Nevada and their health and sports programs.

How do you take part in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge?

In order to take part you need to raise at least $125 and you’ll get the full VIP experience (the “I” in this case probably stands for icy). That will earn you an official plunge t-shirt and the more you raise the more rewards you can get. If you just want to support and don’t have any intention of getting damp, registration is only $45.

The best part is once you’re done you get to stay at the park! That means you really got to take a tax deductible trip to Cowabunga Bay! You’ll also receive free parking and a concession pass so really it’s a pretty great deal benefiting a great organization

The theme this year is “Independence,” so maybe sport your red white and blue or come with some “Battle Born” attire and dress to impress! There will also be a “Duck Derby“. You can become a “quacker backer,” adopt one (or many) rubber duckies for your shot to win amazing prizes including luxury hotel stays, sports tickets, restaurant gift cards and more.

Sure, it can be a shock to the system, but taking a dip in cool water can be good for you! so slap on those swim trunks and take a dip in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge! CLICK HERE to sign up!
