What is ice swimming? 🧊🏊♀️
You know how your swimmer complains the pool is “freezing” at 79 degrees? Ice swimming is racing in water that’s 41°F (5°C) or colder. No wetsuit. Just a regular suit, one cap, and goggles.
It’s a real sport with real rules, run by the International Ice Swimming Association. There are world championships, pool-style events cut right into frozen lakes, and the big one: the Ice Mile, a full mile in that water. Safety crews watch every swimmer, and the recovery afterward (the shivering, the warm-up tent) is part of the event.
So the next time your kid won’t get in for warm-up because the water’s “too cold”… show them this. 😂
