- Taking an ice bath became a habit for me a while ago. That's why today I would like to share my tips for everyone who has never tried this before or just simply want to know more about winter swimming.
It may seem impossible at first or even dangerous but with right preparation and techniques you'll quickly realize that's all about patience with your body.
Feeling the rash of energy after winter swimming is always worth the struggle, so keep going :)

I started my research about ice swimming because of a Tiktok video and I couldn’t believe what I saw! For real! I’m a chilly person but watching people that encourage themselves to get better at this really blows my mind and I want to try it so bad. Thank you for sharing your experience! It is definitely on my bucket list 🥶
Do it. I woke up early one morning and decided to go to the bakery, to sprite the family with nice newly baked bread. On the way home I drove by the lake. I thought to myself, let's just do it. So I did. It was super
Thank you for sharing! Ice swimming is truly the best. I just uploaded a new video from Scandinavia th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
I agree with you! Can hardly wait for the next winter 😍🙏
Winter’s amazing but I can’t wait for spring as well 🥰
I just did this in Sweden! 4 degrees water temp and the whole village went ice swimming on Christmas eve and now I am hooked!!!
That’s fantastic! I just uploaded a new video th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm from Scandinavia
I would say… start with taking cold showers first just to familiarize ones body with the cold temp but that is SOOOOO HEALTHY!
It’s do true! There are countless of benefits ;) just uploaded a new video if you want to check this out 🫶🏼 th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
So off topic but I don’t know when I last saw someone with such clear and radiant skin as yours! Amazing 💛
ah thanks!
I've been cold showering a lot lately and I intend to keep it up, as it does make me feel good. Your instruction of cold plunging is excellent! 👍
Great to hear!
I should probably know by your accent- what nationality are you? I'm Italian, but I'm American born, just outside of New York City.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was actually looking for an answer as why I was having pain after 3 days doing the cold baths. I felt like my energy was gone and I only wanted to sleep but my head was active and I Couldn't rest. I was also shivering on my last bath that lasted 6 minutes. May be I should have started slowly. Thank you again!
It’s important to be careful when ice swimming! Slow progress is still important:) just uploaded a video from Scandinavia th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
Super film :) W tym roku zamierzam spróbować pierwszy raz :D
Dzięki! zdecydowanie polecam spróbować :)
trying it is adopting it, I begun ice dipping last winter and be sure that I'll resume this winter.
Absolutely! It’s wonderful. It’s uploaded a new video if you’re interested 🫶🏼 th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
Love this girl
‘Weird energy’ is euphoria !

Thank you! Just uploaded a new video th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm 🫶🏼
Thanks for the tips ! If you can go to a sauna and ice swim in the cold , I should at least be able to swim in an outdoor pool when its around 22 degrees celsius outside !
Thanks 😀 haha, that’s a good point tho
Watching this from Thailand with 40°c summer heat. Hoping to feel the coldness you feeling. Hahaha.
you are a hero!!
Thank you 🙏☺️
Amazing...Love from India 🇮🇳♥
Thank you! Greetings from Poland ;) just uploaded a new video th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
I just came out of cold water. It isn't that cold yet. My aunt doesn't know what I did
looks very pretty. thank you for sharing informative video
My pleasure 🙌🏼

Ja bym radził zanurzać się od razu do szyi. Pierwszy raz wchodziłem jakoś 2 lata temu do wody 1st. Potem sauna. Następnie zacząłem pływać, w wodzie od 6 do 9 st, w czepku oczywiście. Kluczowe jest opanowanie oddechu. Być może są to też indywidualne predyspozycje. Na pewno trzeba kontrolować czas i obserwować organizm.
Zdecydowanie! Trzeba podchodzić do tego ostrożnie ;) właśnie wstawiłam nowy film th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
I'm in love 💕
Dear 😊you are the definition of beauty ❣️
Thank you so much 😄
Awesome!
Thanks!! A new video is now on my channel th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm ;)
It's Cool 🥶 & Crazzzy
Thanks ;)
Excellent, outstanding and mind blowing swimming. I would like to know the technique of holding long breath under the water.
Thank you 🙏 I’m still working on diving into the water for a long period of time. Maybe in a future I’ll make a video about it

😻
I love swimming but my town dose not have an indoor pool so I’m think about just swimming in the river during winter
It’s important to be careful, rivers can be super dangerous! A new video is on my channel th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm
Awesome 👍
Thanks 😄
Nice and inspiring video! But about the training, do you used regular cold showers, before you started to enter into cold water? I started to switch to cold showers from 20th november, and from around the 10th december, mainly i use just cold water(i start with warm water from last time just to shock my body after by a quick shift to cold water).If you do sauna before entering the cold water isnt too shocking?Because when i was able to go to swim on a regular basis, i done sauna sessions and sometimes entering to the 26-26C pool after that was quite shocking. I plan that with beginning with the next winter, i will go ice swimming on regular. For this, i will do wild swimming beginning from as far as from october until freezing temperatures.
Thank you 🙏 I started with sauna to warm up my body but at first I didn’t go into the freezing water. I just went outside when it was snowing or simply I was lying in the snow. That was a nice preparation for the ice swimming. I never did the cold showers, for me it was not really enough. The ice swimming was shocking at first, that’s why it may not be for everyone. If you feel like at any point your heart rate’s drastically changed or you have weird cramps, shakes, you should immediately leave the cold water. I live in a cold climate so I’m used to the freezing weather, maybe that’s why it was easier for me. Hope it helped ☺️
@@aleksandrapekala Thank for your quick response! I understand that, i live in a little warmer climate i live in north-western Romania, but i have hungarian ethnicity, i dont know how much you know about our centuries long friendly realations, but anyway i give my greeting, polish sister!But where do you live exactly(the closest major city), i question about that, because Poland has a relative large south to north extent, that can be feeled in the climate. I havent visited, Poland yet, but shure i will in my life. I dont know, do you heared about the newly opened Deep Spot, the currently deepest swimming pool with 45m, near Warszawa?That is one place where i want to go, i train for freediving, when i can(i will do a course, when i had the chance for that). Actually, you can swim?Here you cant showed that, it seemed you reached the bottom with your feet. Had you tryed to swim under the ice? One of my goals with ice swimming is that i will be capable to swim all year around, and to begin also icediving.
@@95norbika thank you for the greetings. I haven’t been to the pool in Warsaw yet but I heard of it. Yes, the lake was not really deep so I was standing but I can swim and love it a lot. I also haven’t tried swimming under the ice, from personal experience I can tell that it’s not really safe. Good luck with the winter swimming 😃
@@aleksandrapekala Hm im sure that you witnessed somebody who went wrong with this, and i think i know why. The problem was that the person in case hadnt the sufficient cold resistance in its head skin. I studied a lot the topic of cold resistance and i read an article about training with cold showers and there is stated that if untrained people fell under ice but not above neck, they can survive even for 20mins,but if they submerge also with the head, they die in seconds. So that reveals that the most critical is the heads resistance to cold. I dont know, do you tryed to submerge in freezing water all with your body, i recommend to you to train also your head resistance just for your life safety, when you go ice skating, you newer know when the ice cracks so bad... I think as freediving, ice diving also can be safe with serious training preparation, and some safety precautions.
@@95norbika yeah, I tried diving into cold water with my head also, not the best experience. I just felt really dizzy afterwards. Probably if I trained more I would get better. I haven’t really heard much about the ice diving, but I’ll definitely do my research on the topic.
Wow 🤗👍👏👏
Thanks 🙏🏼 a new video is now on my channel th-cam.com/video/44o6Daj0HwI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuTTWzM34y57Nrqm

Ice swimming change my life

If I was a germ, I'd give up my citizenship for any other country where the people dont make me go through heat stroke and hypothermia back to back.
She's really beautiful and very courageous in the cold water 💧 💋💋❤❤💕💕💖💖
How.. the heck.. did the camera lens not fog inside the sauna? I tried once, but no hope. Anyway, congratulations for the ice swimming.
Thank you! I think it's because it was not so hot where I put the camera ;)
