Annual Polar Bear Swim Becomes A Dip At Home

Registration opens today for the 2021 Polar Bear Swim but it won’t be taking place in English Bay this year.

The City of Vancouver is encouraging everyone to celebrate at home with the 2021 Polar Bear Dip. While things will look a little different this year, you can still keep this annual tradition alive by joining everyone online with a Digital Dip.

Here is how to participate in the Digital Dip:

1. On January 1, 2021, fill a tub, kiddie pool, anything with cold water (7°C) and take a cold dip. Get creative!
2. Share your video and photo online with #PBPolarBearDip2021
3. Register to receive a commemorative certificate
4. Send your photo or video to polarbearswim@vancouver.ca to receive a Polar Bear Swim Club button
