So it seems that contemporary ice swimmers may be well ahead of their times and the predicted climatic shift.
The Daily Mail reported on predictions by scientists that the Earth may enter a mini Ice Age by 2030.
While only a few thousands of bioprened people around the world are regularly getting into and competing in water under 5°C in this day and age, that number may start to skyrocket by 2030 if these predictions by British researchers come true. With the possible changes of the sun, the resulting effects on Earth may be dropping temperatures and colder climates.
If the River Thames in London freezes over like it did during the previous mini Ice Age between 1645 and 1715, and if snow remains year-round in many more locations than in contemporary times, it is theoretically possible that ice swimming may become ubiquitous in many parts of the world.
For some, this will be more than good news. For others, definitely not so. But with gradual changes, everyone will have a chance to acclimate.
