Ice Swimming in Canada is quickly becoming a popular sport. Canadians cherish their winter, cold traditions and are feeling particularly nostalgic now that Climate Change is warming things up.
I remember being little and having the door blocked by 4 feet of snow on Christmas morning. Today there is a +2 degree rainy downpour, and if snow falls at all it disappears in next day.
Even though skating and skiing are rapidly becoming passed sports, I don't think I will be ice swimming anytime soon...
