    All it takes to join the Polar Bear Club is to take a plunge completely beneath the waters of the Arctic Ocean, and pay a lifetime dues of $10.00. For that you get a patch and a certificate giving the time, date, and water temperature for when you took the plunge.

    Two young men from Pittsburgh, PA, who were on our tour bus became new Polar Bear Club members. I would have joined, but I didn't know in advance to bring my swimming trunks, and I was a little shy about doing it au natural.
