Standby Procedures

The Culver City Plunge has implemented a standby process to fill any empty lanes. Please review the guidelines below:

At 10 minutes to the hour, participants will be checked in on the standby list on a first-come, first-served basis.
At 10 minutes past the hour, if space is available, Plunge staff will call standby participants in the order they appear on the list for that time slot.
If a participant accepts a standby slot, they are required to pay at the time of entry. Please note this will take additional time that can impact the participant's time in the water.
If a participant does not get in on standby and they wish to try standby for any subsequent time/s, they must check in at the Plunge front desk. Participant needs to be present 15 minutes prior to the hour for the new standby time.
Please note that being on the standby list does not guarantee entry.
