Does ice swimming appeal to you? Did you notice that the ice swimmers wear regular swimming suits, not wet suits? Most ice swimming places also use a specific heated "carpet" going from the locker rooms to the ice-hole,

If you are interested in training for winter/ice swimming, the next IISI Ice Swimming World Championships will be held February 18-22, 2021 in Katowice Poland.

Finswimming is an underwater sport involving swimming with the use of fins either on the water’s surface using a snorkel and fins, or underwater either by holding one’s breath or using open circuit scuba diving equipment.
