About this Event

Join us for a casual ride from Bay Ridge to the Coney Island Boardwalk to participate in the annual Polar Bear swim.

Did Santa Claus bring you a new bike? Are you resolving to ride your bike more in the New Year? Do you want to wash away the disappointments of 2025? Are you looking for a cure for your hangover?

Whatever the reason, join us for a New Year’s Day bike ride from Cannonball ( a.k.a. John Paul Jones) Park to Coney Island for the traditional Polar Bear Swim.

Registion for the swim is separate from the bike ride - register for the swim here.

The swim is free, the Coney Island Polar Bear Club uses the event to raise money for several non-profits in the neighborhood. Please consider making a donation here.
