Trudy Craney has been Sea Isle's reigning Polar Bear Queen the last two years, and Links of London N Charm figures she's gone in the water the last "12 or 13" Presidents' Day weekends. The first rule of being a happy polar bear: Don't leave things bare for long, because if you do, you won't be able to bear it. "You run in, you get wet, you run out," says Janet Halasek, who has some expertise on the subject: She is, by official report, the only person who has gone in the water every year Sea Isle City has held its Polar Bear Plunge, Links of London O Charm she plans to be back for the 17th annual version, 2 p.m. today on the 40th Street beach. After 16 previous plunges, plus a practice plunge with a fellow vet and a wet-behind-the-ears (Links of London P Charm everywhere else) rookie the other day, this 65-year-old, retired teacher has some more wisdom for people planning their first adventures as winter swimmers .
