Freediving is cool. Some people are way into it. But would they be as into it if they were from Iceland? Or had to do it in freezing-cold water? Meet Kiki Bosch, a cold water freediver who plies her trade in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. “When you’re in the cold, your mind shuts off,†she says. “You go back to experiencing the moment you’re in.â€
The water where Bosch works is around two degrees Celsius, or 34 degrees Fahrenheit, just above freezing. And she hardly wears anything. She just uses her mind. Which is one of the most powerful tools we have.

Japanese YouTubers crash Night Pool event by actually swimming
The Tokyo summer heat is almost unbearable. That’s why it’s no surprise that Japan takes full advantage of sweltering summers by flocking to beaches, pools, and basically anywhere there’s water. Japanese youngsters have recently been attending Night Pool events, which are pretty self-explanatory – they’re pools that you can use at night. What’s special about them is that they often have light-ups, electronic dance music, and other shiny, noisy things to attract a vibrant youth culture.
What might shock you is that there are a fair number of Japanese youth that attend these events for the sake of social media, with many saying things like, “I came here to upload it on Instagram.†The number of people who actually swim in the pool is close to zero.
That’s where Japanese YouTubers 6 Men Station come in. They decided to crash one of these Night Pool events and do the unspeakable: actually swim.

Teenage diver at Noosa Heads describes scary brush with whale calf
A teenager freediving at Noosa Heads has described the terrifying moment a humpback whale calf clipped his leg and sucked him underwater.
Connor Lyons, 19, was diving with two friends about 1km off the coast of Double Island Point north of Noosa in Queensland at midday yesterday.
Wearing just a snorkel and fins, Mr Lyons said he and his friends were about to head back to shore when they spotted an adult whale and its calf.
“Billy was back in the boat and me and my other mate Rheagan were still diving when he told us they were coming,†Mr Lyons said.
“We said he had better steer away from them because whales can be unpredictable when they have calves with them.
“We didn’t see them for a while and then all of a sudden they were right in front of us.â€
