At a glance:

Plan to arrive 20-30 min early for the ease of parking. This event will be going on all day with hundreds of people coming & going, however the main/ collective jump is planned at 9:30am. It really is a sight to see. Last year there was a chain link of groups of all ages holding hands as they took the plunge together. Usualy there is coffee or hot cocoa hosted by Save Our Springs Alliances.

If you are not an experienced swimmer, please let us know & bring a life jacket for your comfort level. This is a swim at your own risk event , however we will all remain together as a group (group size may vary depending on participants).

Reach out with any questions!
