Sponsor a Swimmer

Plungers are asked to have their family, coworkers and friends to sponsor their swim by pledging to pay an amount of their choosing.

All proceeds benefit the Nantucket Atheneum Weezie Library for Children, the island's public library. For those last minute Plungers who decide on Thanksgiving morning to swim, the library requests they make a $25 donation when they register at Children's Beach.

Please arrive at the beach at least 30 minutes early to register and receive your wristband and free Plunge tee-shirt.

Now in its eighth year, the Cold Turkey Plunge attracts several hundred swimmers and close to 800 spectators each year.
