The polar bear plunge is believed to have originated in Canada during the early 20th century as a way to raise funds for charity. Participants would brave the frigid waters to show their support for a cause. Over time, the event grew in popularity and spread to other regions around the world as a fun and exhilarating way to welcome the new year.
