Over 90 plungers jumped into the freezing cold water at Victoria Park to raise money for athletes across Saskatchewan with intellectual disabilities.
Some decided to front flip into the water, while others decided a cannon ball was more their speed.
This year’s iteration raised $37,731 for the cause, exceeding its $20,000 goal, according to Special Olympics Saskatchewan.
All the money raised stays in Saskatchewan to support the over 800 special Olympics athletes who participate in year round sports programing.
For those who got a little cold, there was a hot tub at the ready.
Some of those partaking Saturday included members of the Regina Police Service and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Saskatchewan Roughriders Dan Clark and Logan Ferland also repped the green and white before taking the plunge.
