Coney Island Polar Bear Club

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States, whose members regularly take polar bear plunges in the winters.〔() Nick Kaye "Polar Bear Club Swims: New Year Parties (Don't Hold the Ice)", December 23, 2005 ''New York Times''〕 The club was founded by famed health advocate Bernarr McFadden in 1903.〔() Cynthia Blair "1903: Coney Island Polar Bear Club Founded", Newsday
The club began using the event to raise funds for Special Olympics starting in 2005,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Special Olympics New York )〕 and Camp Sunshine in 2007.〔("Coney Island club prefers chilly start to new year", January 2, 2007, ''USA Today'', Retrieved January 2, 2007 )〕
Members swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island, New York, United States every Sunday from November through April. Every New Year's Day, the Club is joined by participants from around the country, who partake in an annual swim. The 2005 event had 300 participants and 6000 onlookers.〔 The Chief Polar Bear blows a conch shell to gather the swimmers before they run into the water.〔
The club was mentioned in popular culture. It is mentioned on the season three episode of ''Seinfeld'', "The Pez Dispenser". In the episode Kramer informs Jerry that he has joined the club, claiming it to be 'invigorating'. It was also publicized on ''The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'', in a taped segment by Dan Bakkedahl about the effects of global warming on the club in faux-nature documentary style.
