The 28th annual Polar Bear Swim Festival will
take place on January 4, 2015, at Haeundae Beach. This unique event is held
every year to help fend off the cold winter weather as well as pray for good health
in the New Year.
Enthusiastic participants will run and jump
into the sea and swim in the cold waters like a “Polar Bear” in the Arctic
Ocean. This is one of the city’s most enjoyable winter festivals and provides a
unique experience for everyone involved.
