It's time to start taking your ice baths in preparation for Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District's Polar Plunge! This annual event will take place at the Diamond Valley Aquatic Center in Hemet on Saturday, January 10, 2026, starting at 9:00 a.m.

The Polar Plunge involves participants jumping or sliding into the unheated pool at the Aquatic Center. We do not charge an entry fee for participants; instead, we ask for donation to participating nonprofit organizations. Anyone who donates at least $10 will receive a commemorative event T-shirt. #IAmValleyWide
