The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing club in the United States and was founded in 1903. We swim every Sunday November-April at 1pm. Membership is closed and we are NOTaccepting any new members.

Join us next year for our 2024 Coney Island Polar Bear Club New Year's Day Plunge! Help us support local arts, conservation, and community-based organizations in Coney Island. Please follow our social media for updates.
 

All funds raised help support our local non-profits and community, including free public programming, environmental and educational programming, the arts, and more. With your help, we can help ensure that Coney Island continues to thrive!
