Fair Oaks Swim Team Continues 30-Year Tradition During Freezing Temperatures

For 30 years, on the first day of the new year, members of the Fair Oaks Dolphins swim team have honored a tradition: jumping in Lake Natoma at dawn.

While it’s not a traditional polar bear plunge, meaning subfreezing water- it may as well be, for the water they’re about to enter was indeed snow recently. And it was fed immediately by the neighboring Sierras.
