Event Details:

Kick off 2026 with an unforgettable splash!

Start the New Year with a burst of adrenaline at the Annual Clarington Polar Bear Swim on January 1st. This chilly tradition isn’t just about courage, it’s about community. Every brave jump into Lake Ontario helps raise essential funds for Autism Home Base through the Hollylynn Towie Memorial Fund, supporting social and recreational programs for Autistic adults and their families.

Register early! The first 200 swimmers will receive a gift. Participants can also compete for exciting prizes, including Best Costume and Top Fundraiser. Last year’s event raised more than $37,000. This year, we’re aiming even higher to make an even greater impact.

Feel the excitement, embrace the cold, and be part of a community coming together for a remarkable cause. A heartfelt thank you to the Towie family for creating this inspiring event in loving memory of their daughter, Hollylynn, and for continuing to make a difference in her name.
