Summer Plunge is a free program that transports young people from various Norfolk neighborhoods to three City pools -- Huntersville, Chesterfield, and Berkley. The program provides opportunities for Norfolk youth ages 6-18 to learn water safety and basic swimming skills while participating in fun water activities. The Summer Plunge program runs seasonally from July to August. Registration by a parent/guardian is required, and the program begins in June each year.
