Update regarding Potomac water quality: At this time, the Virginia Department of Health has not issued any water quality advisories or impact information for the area of the Potomac we use for the Prince William Plunge.

To ensure a safe event for all participants and volunteers, we have made the decision to move this year’s plunge to above-ground pools in the same event area.
