Tip #0: Make sure the dip is in Honolulu, Florida or in Bart's State California.

Nope. It's a really different experience to go on a Polar Dip.

I went to a winter camp in my youth, and we cut a hole in the 18" thick ice of the lake and went for a dunk, every morning before breakfast. The dip wasn't the hard part, it was getting to and from the lake in only a bathing suit and towel, at 20 below!
