Who needs tropical beaches when you can take a plunge into an icy pool? 🌊❄️ Winter swimming—the bold practice of leaping into freezing waters—is heating up global interest, and Russia is leading the charge. With over 80 clubs in Moscow alone, Russians are proving that frosty dips aren’t just for polar bears!
Meet the Serebryany Bor Walrus Club, a legendary crew that’s been breaking the ice since 1960. 🏊♂️❄️ Andrey Zamyslov, the club’s chairman and president of Moscow’s Winter Swimming Federation, spills the tea on how to survive (and thrive) in subzero waters. Spoiler: It’s not just about grit—think gradual cold training, breath control, and… staying zen like a TikTok influencer mid-challenge. ✨
‘Winter swimming boosts blood flow, mental strength, and even immunity,’ says Andrey. But here’s the real flex: club members stay agile in water so cold it could double as a Marvel villain’s lair. Ready to join the frosty fun? 🧊🔥
