The Fascination of Ice Swimming
Cold water. A clearer sense of yourself.
By the shore, every breath seems louder. The cold water lies ahead, and your attention turns to your body. With Gerald Daringer, you prepare mindfully for those first guided steps into the lake.
Over three days, the camp combines theory, breathing exercises and supported cold-water experiences with individual swimming technique sessions in the indoor pool. Afterwards, wrap your hands around a warm cup of tea, talk things through and unwind in the spa. There is time for that, too.
