One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm collecting swimming in cold places - Atlantic ocean in March and English channel in October. One winter (in January) I swam in the Dnepr River, the main water treasury of Kyev.
The coldest of the coldest so far was Lake Baikal: compared to it, the Norwegian and Barents seas were really warm pools :-)
