Hearty souls can ring in 2019 with a dip in the chilly waters of Boundary Bay.

The City of Delta will play host to the 39th annual Polar Bear Swim on Jan. 1 at Centennial Beach in Boundary Bay Regional Park.

A New Year’s Day tradition for both young and old, the swim usually attracts in excess of 300 participants. And even if you aren’t brave enough to take the plunge, it’s always fun to come out and watch the festivities.

In addition to the swim, which is limited to a quick in-and-out dip, the event will include prizes, activities and entertainment for the whole family.

Registration starts at noon, with the swim getting underway at 1 p.m.
