About Pauline Barker
IISA Official.
IISA Ambassador.
IISA GB Chairman 2015 - 2017.
IISA Ice Mile 10

Pauline completed her first Ice Mile in January 2014 and in 2015 she completed a further two Ice Miles becoming the first woman in the world to have swum three Ice Miles.
In November 2016 she completed Ice Mile number 5 – the first ( and still only ) Ice Fly – an Ice Mile swim in Butterfly stroke and has since completed several more Ice Miles to bring the total ( so far ) to 10 - the only woman in the world to have swum so many Ice Miles and a figure only surpassed by Ram Barkai IISA founder and President.

She has competed in many International Ice Swimming events including Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Netherlands and USA and will be a participant in the first ever Antarctica 1 Kilometre event in November 2018.

She organises several open water swim sessions in and around Plymouth where she lives and likes to provide opportunities for those new to the sport to jump in and give it a try as well as encouraging more established swimmers to extend their swimming boundaries – safely of course!
She is the founder of the Polar Bear Challenge ( UK ) which is an Ice Swimming challenge to encourage swimmers to swim through the winter under IISA rules )

During the summer she becomes a long distance swimmer and has swum in 4 relays of the English Channel, a relay of Loch Ness and a solo 2 Way Windermere 21 miles as well as an English Channel solo in 2015 aborted after more than 13 hours due to string tides and winds. In 2017 she took part in the Lake Geneva Classic 12 swimming across Lake Geneva from Switzerland to France in 6 hours 40 minutes.

She is always happy to speak with anyone keen to take on the challenge of Ice Swimming and can be contacted through Facebook or by email to barkerpab@aol.com or through the links on her website devonandcornwallwildswimming.co.uk
