Polar PlungeEvery winter, to help ring in the New Year, friend, neighbor and SurfSide customer Rush Abry holds what he calls the “Polar Plunge”. Children, family and friends come over to brave the elements and join in some winter swimming pool fun. Here in the Jacksonville Florida area it can be cold or somewhat mild as the first week of 2014 has shown, but a pool party like the Polar Plunge is a great way to enjoy swimming pool fun all winter long. After the plunge, Rush serves food and drinks (hot drinks are probably a favorite if it’s a cold day) and everyone warms up to a great time.
