SwimYourSwim Ice Milers

 in Swimming News, Winter Swimming

 

Since our initial swim into the ice in 2013, Alistair and myself have had the honour and pleasure of helping winter swimmers achieve their ice mile goals here in the UK (an ice mile is one mile in open water below 5ºc wearing just one swim cap, one pair of goggles and a standard swimming costume), in fact we lead the world with 43 ice miles out of the UK’s 92.

 

Here’s the country statistics

 

We’re very proud of all of our ice milers, so we thought we would share their success on this post in the run up to the 2018 winter season.

 

We look forward to assisting more aspiring ice milers and watching this list grow.

NB. These figures are for ice miles completed with us, some of the swimmers above have gone on to do multiple ice miles, blazing a trail both at home and internationally, we’re extremely proud to have been a part of their journey. ( 2 miles were observed and supported at an external venue)
