Off-The-Wall: 7 Action Packed Activities In The Big Apple

Swimming with 'Polar Bears'

So the summer days are gone and fall will be over before we know it. Even though the cold winter is approaching fast, our refreshing dipping days aren't necessarily over. At the Coney Island Polar Bear Club, no day is too cool to take a plunge. Every Sunday, fall through winter, the club offers 4 to 20-minute group swims in the Atlantic Ocean for those who are fierce enough to face the water. You can also join the annual New Year's Day Swim. Details: Meet at New York Aquarium Education Hall, on the Boardwalk at West 8th Street [Photo via]
