I’m a massive wuss at cold water,  but I’ve kept Wim in my thoughts and been in the sea a fair bit this summer… hot weather might have helped too though.

I have a mate that was inspired by  Wim to do an open water swim every day over the last winter.. I’ve seen some ace icey selfies as a result. Not sure if he’s continuing this year.

yes   i’ve been doing it for about a year now.  really struggled with the cold showers at first. am now at the stage where I dislike warm showers. the breathing I do on and off because it really only works in the morning (for me) and I also really like sleep.

there is a free app so no need to buy anything

i started out with a guided breathing clip on youtube

Read a book about this guy recently. Ice man. Laird Hamilton has adopted his techniques
