After reading From Fire To Ice, an autobiography of International Ice Swimming Association founder Ram Barkai, watching this introduction to ice swimming in the below video makes so much sense.
Barkai asks a basic question when he views different parts of the world – a question that adventurous swimmers have always asked themselves upon seeing an open body of water: Can we swim there?
Barkai’s answer is most often, yes…no matter how inhospitable the water and conditions are.
