Our friend and fellow mermadam Kim (who is a proper swimmer, having swum the English Channel and other amazing water based feats) has qualified for the Ice Swimming World Championships, which take place this year in Italy. It looks like a normal pool but the temperature is 34 F / 1.2 C and every morning the organizers have to chip the layer of ice off the surface of the pool! Anyway, it was very exciting to watch the live stream of her competing in the 200 m , 500 m and 1000 m.
