As summer approaches in London, it's time to look forward and back to the heady days of real ice swimming. Thanks to Emma Brown for supplying the photos from the (recent) Winter World Swimming Championships in Finland.
We would have uploaded the pictures sooner but we had to defrost the film / penguin ate my homework / I couldn't type pproperly whilst wearing winter mittens. Thanks to Emma for giving us the photos from Finland. Looks like a super experience.
