- We're always up for a challenge however this is a bit new to us! Heather is in London for 'The Swimmer', an event that takes in some of the city's wild open spaces and swim locations! But to make this event more unique, you have to run between each lido and pond! This one was cold!

Who fancies trying this one out? 🥶
I do, love challenges but need to work on my swimming which I already started on. I give it a year to have full confidence in doing long distance swimming.
@@AbiyeKetema the swims are only a few lengths, nothing too taxing, all about the camaraderie and getting those endorphins flowing.
This looks amazing. I love some cold water so this is right up my alley
@@jennyscott2820 got you so maybe I will give it a shot next year.
Looks fantastic we love wild swimming just concerned I can keep up with everyone with the running, how far is the last leg of the run ?
These "Real Life" events on GCN are great. Please keep them coming.
Agreed 100%, really enjoyed this.
More of this style to come 🙌
@@gtn w00h00... Thanks. It's nice to get tips and tricks, but also seeing how real folks do in real events and seeing everybody huffing, puffing, matches my real life experiences than anything that is polished up for the masses. 😁👍
Even though I am wearing a warm sweater, have a fleece blanket and a hot cup of tea, I still got cold watching this video. Well done Heather!
Hahaha yep, Heather is stiff shivering in the office 🥶
I love the idea behind this swimrun. It is really seeing opportunity where there apparently is none. And Heather: Well done coping with the cold water (although it was fun seeing an olympian having the most granny-like swim style of all 😂)
Hahah it was so cold 🥶
"It's fun, It's all about the fun" ha, yes love this exactly!
hard as f*** is our heather... good job girl as always
I'm shivering just watching this. Well done Heather!
Absolutely love this video, hilarious. Well done Heather.
Fancy doing the swim run?
I love how diverse this event is. I started running at 145 kilos, and I always thought that most runners look fit AF and are in their late 20s. Now I’m down 25kg and on my running journey I’ve encountered so many different runners! It’s awesome. If I had known that earlier, who knows…
Diverse?
That's so great to hear! It's an amazing community. Running really is for all 🙌
A number of friends have described these London swimming venues. What a fun way to experience them.
Your dedication to the channel is admirable- I could NEVER do these freezing water swims that you do!!!
Give it a go! You've got it 💪
That’s the best fun, I’m smiling just watching you all 💕💜💛
Well done Heather. That was one of the most entertaining vids I’ve seen on GTN; you reacting to the cold was hilarious and hats off for completing it. 👏👏
No way was Heather taking her hat off.
Heather, Great job! I know this group was in it as a casual run/swim, but it would be a great run/swim race in an iconic city!
I did this event about two years ago in February, it was so fun!!! I'm inspired to do it again after watching this!
I used to swim off Portobello in Scotland and putting my face in was the worst. The ice cream face in winter was absolutely brutal. 😂
I enjoyed watching this video and your unique journey through London. I admire your positive attitude even when you were clearly very cold. GTN always brings the entertaining videos.
this video was amazing! Enjoyed watching it! :)
Would like to share our new paper now published by the British medical and sports journal on cold water swim advice - Prof Tipton , Dr Morgan, Dr Massey and myself - safety advice with science
Crazy events can be just as challenging as endurance events, for different reasons of course, one of your best videos, enjoyed watching! 🥶🥶
Heather, you absolute star!!! You looked freezing. Well done for finishing!
Another one for the bucket list
Great Job Heather. You made me smile. You are such a trooper. Reminds me of what is coming up in April when the ice comes off the lake and water is 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Mind you I will have a wet suit on my face and hands do get a bit chilly. I think gloves this coming year cause the booties help. Nice event. I wish they would have one like that where I live.
That was awesome, great work Heather... Canada loves watching :)
I did an event in Austria 18months ago in May. Came from training in Saudi Arabia at 35deg to a lake swim in 8/9deg water. I can still remember the cold headache when you get in the water. Well done!
Wow that's an amazing event, brilliant idea
So cool 🥶 loved this!
Well done, your a star. Next time you can go to Kona and the boys can do the cold Lido’s.
Loved this one 😄especially Heather's cold water facial reactions!
That looks like an amazing event, I've only swum in London a couple of times and it's a great novelty.
I hope there's plenty of more winter swimming videos to come!
That's crazy! I really don't like running I the cold but I do. That might be tough! Love it!!
Looks like fun, you should come to Japan and swim the Fuji Five Lakes… little more distance, same concept as the race you did up in Scandinavia… nice Onsens to warm up and relax after..💪👍🙏🥂
Heather you are a Hero!
That gave me chills even while watching from my warm kitchen. Reminded me of Escape from Alcatraz tri. No thank you!
Was terrified this was going to involve the Thames! Looks like a blast! Kudos!
Loved the video - horrendous event! Can fully relate to shivering uncontrollably while watching in utter bewilderment as other people carry on as normal!
Same
Brilliant film 🎥 great event and Heather is such a trooper 💪
What a wonderful idea 💕
Kudos to you, Heather, for braving all that cold water! I admire the choice of a woolie hat to swim in; I still wouldn't have been able to do it. Too cold! 🥶
Well done Heather! I think I will pass this challenge. 😊
Massive respect to Heather. One day I hope to do this event
It has been 35 degrees celcius here in Brisbane, Australia today, so I am super jealous of all the cold!! (I also had to look up what a lido was.)
Thank you Heather, I now feel the strong need to do this event 😂😮
Loved this episode
Thanks! It's a fun day out. would you do it ?
Living in the tropics makes me wish for the cold weather for running and swimming!
Truly weird! Love it 😂
Brrrrr! Kudos to all of you for such a great event!
I’m curious about the water temp. My fitness watch does a good job on water temp. Tons of respect to all these people.
This one was about 10-12 I believe, but drops a bit at ever subsequent event til March.
This video made me cold!! Good on you!
10 pts for Heather's pain face!!
Awesome, enjoyed that video
Way to go Heather!
This was a very creative run!
That looks like fun
Very cold and very fun! Fancy giving it a go? 👀
I do have to try this!
We'd love to have you join us.
Will have to do this when I'm back in London from uni.
We'd love to have you join us.
Aha! More evidence that heather is just awesome.
Well done Heather
Awesome. I’ve done two polar bear plunge events in Oklahoma in 20 degree temps on New Years Day. So painful and yet laughable. Not sure about another one. Yikes.
I got cold just watching this
Looks great fun
That's fun.
C'mon dear people, this one was on the verge of reality show style. What's next? Heather bungee jumping? Heather free solo climbing? Heather swim the arctic cycle?
How insane is this thing?!?
Well.. now we know what Heather was doing 😂. Was definitely not coaching 😜
Well done.
When does this event happen? Sounds fun!
It's funny 🤣
Anyone know what swimming goggles Heather uses?
What's the toilet situation between locations? Are you wearing the insulated Zoggs suits with the sliver lining?
Nice work Heather, I couldn't think of anything more miserable to do 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Amazing. Well done legend.
We need a swim and bike only event. I hate running
That was Hardcore! Just how cold was it? Air and Water temperature in C please...🥶
Water around 10-12 on this one I believe.
Heather, what an amazing, cool and beautiful woman you are!
She is a nut! This looks like so much fun
Not for me. But only because it’s a group thing - I just like to exercise alone !
Why dont you try swimming accross the English channel
The outro your lips were almost the same colour as your swimming cap!
That is so cool. Literally! 🥁
Love it! There's a certain pleasure in sharing misery with others
Absolutely grand event, lovely!
