	Welcome		Cold enough for ya? The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States. We swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island every Sunday from October through April. New Year's Day 2008 Once again, the Coney Island Polar Bear Club would like to thank the thousands of brave swimmers and spectators who showed up for our annual New Year's Day Swim, a New York tradition since 1903. The event raised over $30,000 for Camp Sunshine to send children with serious illnesses and their families to Camp Sunshine, a place of respite, support, joy and hope. We send our deep gratitude to all our sponsors and attendees who supported Camp Sunshine with their generous donations.
