Western Russia is currently experiencing its coldest winter for 80 years with daytime temperatures below minus 30 deg C. Yet a surprising number of people who are members of winter swimming clubs are still swimming in iceholes cut in rivers and ponds. This beggars belief. Swim wear must freeze solid as soon as they leave the water. Does anyone know how they achieve these amazing feats of endurance?

I'm just wondering how they manage to coax their testicles back from within their body.

I here most have more Vodka than blood in their veins

It would explain much ;-)

At least others ie Scandinavia are smart enough to go straight into a Sauna afterwards
