    We, the Ukrainian swimmers and the administration of the “Mikomp” swimming pool, are asking you for help. In this difficult time for our country, the “Mikomp” swimming pool remains one of the few working Olympic-class pools in central Ukraine, and Ukrainian swimmers continue to train there for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games. With almost no funding, the pool is in a very vulnerable situation, and its closure could be fatal for the future of Ukrainian sports. The swimming pool needs new investments in infrastructure modernization to continue its operation.

    Long-distance swimmer Lynton Mortensen discusses his latest challenge as he is bound for the Antarctic.

    Mr Mortensen said the water temperature is anticipated to be at zero degrees.

    “And it’s just the pair of the good old budgie smugglers, cap and goggles,” he told Sky News Australia.

    “So there’s no wetsuit.

    “We’re aiming for an ice mile if we can, conditions permitting – I did one at the Arctic 2022 and the water temperature there was minus one.”
