One of the most remarkable ice swimmers in the world is Jackie Cobell. Gritty and determined, personable and extroverted, the warm-hearted English channel swimmer has all the tools necessary to handle cold water for long distances.
“Even when I was a child, I enjoyed being in cold water. It was just something that I did and I enjoyed. Now I have made friends all over the world who like doing the same thing. It’s wonderful.”
