Register - come inside the Pressey House and Check-In at the Lounge. Turn in all the pledges you received off line and grab some FREE SNACKS to fortify yourself for what's about to come! You will be given the order in which you will plunge and if you need to change you can do so at this time.
-
Plunge - around noon all plungers will line up in order above the water's edge and wait to be introduced and invited to plunge. You can just dip your toes or go out to the demarcated line and dunk yourself under the water or anything in between. Teams will go in together.
