Don't be fooled by the "warm" look. It is Icy !!!
We also wish to extend a very special well done to The Ireland Ice Swimming Team event and participants last weekend. The team headed by Padraig Mallon (2013 WOWSA Man of the Year) assisted by Nuala Moore and Jacqueline well done. The logo and the medals design was exceptionally beautiful. Running an Icy event is not a simple task. It is an outdoors event in icy conditions, in the water with no assistance or swimming aids. As pure as any extreme sport can get. It requires huge logistics and safety measures. They have been at it for quite sometime and they pulled an amazing event which sets standards and hopefully will continue to run annually (until we freeze the rest of Ireland).
Good luck to all you who decided to attempt an Ice Mile on valentine day - it is certainly original and we love that. Make sure you have someone to warm you up after the swim (aside from Fergal). Swim well and be Safe!
Well done to Henri Kaarma - the new world champ with time of 13:53
Murmansk World Champ will be very exciting
Bhakti not only joined our frozen club but she did it Antarctica, Paradise Bay. A beautiful and deadly place to break the ice.
Bhakti swam 1.42 mile in water temp of 1C.
Well Done Bhakti and welcome to our mad group of frozen swimmers.
Kate Steels-Fryatt from England, Southampton completed a fast Ice Mile, 32:50min in a tiny lake that required 13 loops of around 127m each. That is a head game in itself.
Well done Kate and Welcome to our Frozen club.
