Some Like it Hot, Some Like it Cold – Chill Swim this Weekend!

‘The Iceman’ Breaks Another World Record
Last Saturday Wim Hoff, aka ‘The Iceman’ broke his own record by standing engulfed in 1,550 lbs of ice for an hour and 12 minutes! He also holds the world record for the longest swim whilst holding one’s breath under ice (188 feet, 6 inches).
