Melissa Kegler set an ice-cold record: she swam 2.2 kilometers in water temperatures of five degrees. The media reports about her success are mainly dominated by one topic: Melissa’s obesity. She says, “You can look like me and still accomplish great things!”
Ice swimming is not a sport for the faint of heart. For everyone who practices it, the so-called ice mile is considered the ultimate feat: wearing only swimming suit, swimming cap and swimming goggles, you try to cover the distance of 1,609.3 meters as quickly as possible in water that is ‘warm’ at a maximum of five degrees. Melissa Kegler is one of the few people to swim such ice miles and break the American record.
