        Does it ever actually get warm enough over there to swim????

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                    Fixed that for you.

                      That photo seems odd to me. Notice the fool is just standing in a few inches of water. Why would they cut the hole in the ice so close to shore? You'd think they'd cut it in deeper water so he could take a real plunge. And what's that odd tool the guy in the pink shirt is wearing? Perhaps he used it to do a lobotomy on speedo boy.

                        Julian, id assumed he scar was just rolls of fat πŸ˜›

                        And i imagine they cut it so close to the shore so he got a bit of a gradient going, i reckon when you get to the other end of the pool youll be un prime wallowing water (apart form it being about -2 in there.)

                          ice swimming is not so bad! i have done it myself a couple of times, but only after a nice and warm sauna. you just have to wear socks (yes, JUST socks, nothing else) so your feet do not stick to the snow. the rest is a stroll πŸ˜„ very popular in finland, i hope anssi confirms this...

                          there are even ice swimming world championships!
