Take the Del Mar Penguin Plunge on Jan 1!

penguinplunge2015-1Start your new year with a nice little shock to the system, courtesy of the Del Mar Penguin Plunge on New Year’s Day!

This event is free and if you run out into the water, you get free hot drinks, donuts and a certificate! The Plunge is held at the main 17th st. lifeguard headquarters at 11am on, you guessed it, New Years Day.

The event draws up to 1,000 people so come early and… bring warm clothes!

Check out last year’s video for some plunge-spiration!
