    When you associate โ€œopen waterโ€ and โ€œBrazilโ€, the inevitable result is Ana Marcela Cunha. With six medals (two of each colour) at the FINA World Championships since 2011, the Brazilian champion is also a shining star in the annual circuit of the FINA 10km Marathon Swimming World Cup.

  • Chill Seekers: Freediving In Antarctica

    A group of UK adventurers have made history as the first Brits believed to have freedived in Antarctica. Will Glendinning, 40, made the treacherous journey to the planet’s most southerly continent with friend Dave Crump and four other crew members. Freediving involves going underwater without breathing equipment and relies on the diverโ€™s ability to hold their breath for minutes at a time. Classed as an extreme sport, it is especially dangerous in the Southern Ocean, with icebergs โ€œthe size of small countriesโ€ threatening to collapse and crush divers beneath their weight. As a result, only around 10 people are known to have gone freediving in Antarctica.

  • High School Girls Busted After Hiring Male Stripper For Swimming Banquet

    A high school swim club is in hot water after school officials say the girls hired a male stripper to perform at their swimming banquet last week.

    The students were gathered at an off-campus facility in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday when the dancer dropped in, making a splash, a district official confirmed.

    โ€œIt turned out it was the older sister of a freshman who hired the stripper,โ€ Phil Roeder, director of communications for Des Moines public schools, told The Huffington Post Wednesday.

    He said the idea came from a similar stunt that was pulled off by the club about seven or eight years ago. Because it wasnโ€™t until later on that that event was discovered, the Roosevelt High School students had escaped discipline.

    Roeder said the freshman studentโ€™s older sister, who he described as a graduate in her early 20s, suggested that the club โ€œrenew that tradition.โ€

    But apparently not everyone was on board โ€” including the staff at the Des Moines Social Club, which Roeder said booted the stripper from their building.
