Want to celebrate the arrival of 2018 in Tofino? The community and Surfrider Pacific Rim invite you to join in their annual New Year’s Day Polar Bear Swim!
At 10am, a New Year’s Day Yoga Class will be held at Coastal Bliss Yoga. Stretch your limbs and achieve that inner warmth before dipping into freezing water!
At 11:30 North Chesterman Beach will be cleaned up and made ready for the main event.
1pm is the main swim! Do you dare dip your toes into Tofino’s wintery ocean waters?
A fire will be burning to help keep you warm. There will also be hot chocolate and treats! Remember to BYOM (Bring Your Own Mug)!
