Whatever Wednesday - Polar Plunge

Saturday February 7th was the YMCA Polar Plunge.  Yes, I paid the YMCA to jump into the outdoor pool. It was for a good cause and I got a very nice long sleeve shirt. 
Some water aerobics friends came too.  Those with pants did not plunge

Debbie, Claudia, me, Angie, and Ealane

Yes, I chose a minion cap for the fashion statement.  It was a balmy 55 or so  outside, but sunny and no wind. 
One of the lifeguards, Christine, had on her Frosty hat

 Proof I got in the pool  I did not jump. I walked in there and then over to the other steps.  

Then I went down the  water slide twice with an inner tube

Crazy,  huh?   It was invigorating and fun. 

Now back to INDOOR water aerobics

  1. Hi Joanne - good for you ... seeing as I'm inside with a north wind blowing outside ... I'm just glad it was not me. Congratulations ... is all I can say! Cheers Hilary

  2. That's still a bit nippy for outdoor swimming. But you did it!

  3. thecontemplativecat here. Wow! You have a brave heart and made it farther than can be predicted. I am not a dive in the pool type person. I ease into it.
