  • Furthest Under Ice Swim

    This Guinness World Record is sub-zero cool. Dutchman Wim Hof swam 57.5 m. (188.6 ft.) under three feet of an ice lake near the Finnish village of Kolari, deep inside the Arctic Circle on March 16, 2000. Using no special equipment, he wore only swim shorts and a pair of goggles! It’s enough to make you shiver just watching it!

      Exciting, but better him than me. I am not a fan of doing something in front of people where at least half of those people are hoping that I might die, or be seriously injured. Also, anything that requires a standby ambulance.

      imagine how low his hb dropped, meaning his body was using less air so it was easier for him to be able to hold his breath, but the cold had to have a affect on his muscles.

      The title should read ‘farthest’, not ‘furthest’, as we’re dealing with physical distance.

      I perfected an ancient art of keeping my body temperature steady. It’s called paying my utility bill.

      “Hypothermia can kill you in 5 seconds” ?

      My over 80 year old grandma can swim in Icy water for quite bit longer than that.
