  • Ice Swimming in Finland

    Ice swimming paired with Finnish sauna is very popular in Finland! I decided to cut a hole in the ice and give it a try myself! Heating the sauna and cutting the hole in the ice was the easy part, now I just had to gather the strength to jump in the ice-cold water for a refreshing ice swim! As jumping into the cold water for ice swimming is quite extreme, make sure to know the dangers associated before trying it and never do this alone! Thank you for watching!

    Louisville native Brooke Forde is getting ready to dive into the familiar waters of Lakeside Swim Club. The Stanford star has been coming here for her whole life. 

    “To come right back here, it’s sort of easy to reflect on my journey,” Forde said. 

    It’s one that’s led her to four national titles as a collegiate swimmer, with the latest coming on March 19 at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships in the 400 individual medley event. And that presented the toughest path of her journey so far.
