25th annual polar plunge held in Seaside Heights

The 25th annual Seaside Polar Plunge is being held today.
Nearly 7,000 people took part in last year's event with organizers raising close to $2 million.
Money raised provides Special Olympics New Jersey with year-round sports training, competition and leadership opportunities and health screenings to more than 25,000 athletes.
This year, plungers will see a new jumbo-size beach entrance, which will make it faster to get on and off the beach.
Check in began at 9 a.m. and the plunge starts at 1 p.m.
