Polar Bear New Year Plunge
Welcoming 2015 Polar Bear Style
January 6, 2015
The Libby Polar Bear Club celebrated 2015 with its New Year
plunge Sunday afternoon in the Kootenai River at Riverfront
Park. The water temperature was 39 degrees with an air
temperature of 28 degrees under a gray sky. Three active
club members took to the water: Rick Klin, Steve Sonju and
Matthew White. A fourth intrepid soul who wished to remain
unidentified also took the plunge a little later. A handful
of spectators watched as Polar Bear Rick provided
information and encouragement.
Anyone wishing to try an icy swim of their own can find
Polar Bear Rick at the Libby Creek bridge on Farm to Market
Road at 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoons through the winter.
