About Paul Bieber
Hello everyone,
I come from the Allgäu in Bavaria and train almost daily at Lake Constance. In Wasserburg on Lake Constance, I have perfect conditions for ice swimming in winter. Cold, clear water and a warm-up hall for regeneration afterwards, changing rooms and always someone to look after me.
I started ice swimming in 2018. Inspired by Hamza Bakircioglu and Uli Munz. I train regularly in winter and swim 5 to 6 times a week in open water. I currently hold the German record for the extreme ice mile with 2210m and the German record with a total of 14 ice miles. Swimming an ice mile in open water or in a pool is as different as night and day. In a sterile pool, I feel like I\'m taking a pig to be processed. In open water, I have the feeling of becoming one with nature and the external elements. My biggest inspiration in this sport is Ger Kennedy and Josef Köberle.

I love the ice mile. Mentally and physically!

See you!
