About:
Members of our boys and girls varsity swim teams have taken part in the TOBAY Polar Plunge the last two years. The event benefits the Special Olympics. The impetus was our school district hosting the Special Olympics in the spring the last two years. So it was a chance to support a great cause and promote Farmingdale’s connection with SO.
In 2022, 12 swimmers raised $900 for the Special Olympics. In 2023, 15 swimmers raised $2000. The Lady Dalers have informally been going to the Long Beach polar plunge in January for years. However, since Farmingdale School District was hosting in 2022 and 2023 they decided to make an official Dalers Team (both boys & girls) for the Town of Oyster Bay Polar Plunge (our local community/beach).
