I swim under the ice sheet in a strong cold of -20 degrees Celsius. I can feel the cold enough to make my body creepy.
This is a woman swimming underwater. On the top, the ice is thickly heated, but the temperature outside the water is -22 degrees Celsius, and he is wearing only a swimsuit without a protective suit to keep the body temperature.
In the world’s oldest freshwater lake, Lake Baikal, Russia, such a swimming competition is held.In case the swimming was stopped, the ice plate was broken and holes were made, but most of the athletes said they finished the race.
This year, this 40-year-old woman swam 85m for 1 minute and 50 seconds to take the first place. When the woman who finished swimming sent an OK sign, her colleagues shouted and cheered as’World Record’.
The highest record so far is 76.2m held by a Danish male diver. However, it is said to be an unofficial record because it has not yet received official confirmation from Guinness World Records.

It looks great to challenge human limits like this, but these are long-trained players, right? The general public won’t do it, but I should never do it. Please tell me the next news.
