Lake Tahoe Polar Plunge

August 11 @ 1:07 am

Sunday, December 6, 2026, 1:30 pm, Join us in unforgettable fashion at South Lake Tahoe, as we officially launch our Polar Plunge season!

Set against the stunning, snowy backdrop, this signature event will kick off a series of plunges taking place from December through March. It’s more than an icy dip – it’s a bold celebration of inclusion, courage, and community.

Every splash enables free, year-round sports, health, and leadership opportunities for Special Olympics NorCal Athletes.

Make an impact and do something special with us as we make waves where it matters most.
