Royal duties of the king and queen include presiding over the event and representing the club in the wider community.
The annual Polar Bear swim, which dates back seven decades, will take place on Sunday, Jan. 1, after being canceled the previous two years, first because of the coronavirus pandemic and then because of a sewage spill. This file photo shows a girl splashing around during the 2020 polar swim.
Participants are seen after the 68th annual Cabrillo Beach Polar Bear New Year’s Day Swim in San Pedro on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020. Will the crowds surge back this year in big numbers? Or will folks have gotten used to sitting by the fire at home on the first day of the new year?But this year’s reigning king and queen — Robert Muthamia and Erin Sujan — will be on the sands to lead whomever turns up to run into the chilly waves at noon, sharp, on Sunday, Jan. 1. The aim is to welcome in the new year with a dare to get more exercise — and more fun.
Royal duties of the king and queen, chosen each year by the club, include presiding over the event and representing the club in the wider community.Sujan, this year’s queen, has been an avid open water swimmer for years, having grown up in San Pedro watching the Polar Bears run into the water — not just on New Year’s Day, but every day of the year.
“My love for the ocean is a driving force in my life,” said the commercial camera operator, who has lived in San Pedro for 10 years.
