Then she took lessons and noticed that she was well, and that you made the Swim fun. First, they swam in the indoor pool, soon with a wetsuit in the Bay. They increased from day to day. After two weeks, they dared only in a bathing suit in the water. “The body has to get used to the cold,” she says.

I can swim in eight-degree cold water for eight hours. Not many people can,” she says.
