2026 74th Annual Polar Bear Swim

            Seen are this years King Stephan and Queen Moni at this years 74th Celebration of the Annual Polar Bear Swim at LA's Cabrillo Beach!  Sorry to say due to an excessive rain storm it was not advisable to go into the water as a sewer line popped open the night before this annual event! 
As a 74-year-old tradition, San Pedro’s annual New Year’s Day Polar Bear swim at Cabrillo Beach doesn’t see a lot of change — let alone disruption.

But this year, a couple of curve balls have been thrown into the mix, including a rain forecast and a 10,000-gallon sewage spill that closed the beach on Christmas Eve.

And that sewage spill, as of Monday, Dec. 29, appeared to be unresolved.
