Polar Bear Plunge will happen despite uncertainty surrounding COVID-19

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- After a few days of uncertainty about whether the Polar Bear Plunge would happen in 2022, the Barton Springs Conservancy says the plunge will go on. They're asking people to be careful as COVID-19 surges across Austin-Travis County.
"Since the event is a free flow all day kind of thing, folks can come and plunge when they want, but we are NOT encouraging gathering at a specific time," the conservancy wrote on Facebook.PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Will the Polar Bear Plunge happen in 2022?
