    This is the heart-stopping moment a free diver gets disorientated while swimming in a frozen lake as his desperate colleagues try to smash the ice to get him out before he drowns.

    Slovak athlete Boris Oravec, 31, was taking part in the 20-meter under-ice swim when he became disorientated and began to desperately search for a way out.

    He shared the clip on his social media pages including Instagram, where it has been viewed nearly 250,000 times, and TikTok.

    The under-ice swim was filmed at a frozen lake in the area of Vysoke Tatry in the High Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.
