There will be hot chocolate, prizes and of course, bragging rights.

Why should I register in advance?

This event is free and anyone is welcome to join. Swim Winchester encourages swimmers to register in advance so we have a sense of numbers and have enough hot chocolate on hand!

Registrants can also take advantage of fundraising-related prizes that will be given out on plunge day.
