Navigating is an interesting element of the culture of countries that do not experience sub-zero temperatures. Therefore, the implementation of such an event is definitely something to enrich the Erasmus experience. Additionally, ice swimming has a positive effect on health and we may have encouraged someone to do the sport more often.
Taking advantage of the winter weather that prevailed two weeks ago, we decided to take Erasmus students for extreme winter experiences - ice swimming. Ice swimming is an unusual sport, especially for Erasmus students from countries with warmer weather. In addition, ice swimming was extremely popular in Poland this winter, so we wanted to give an opportunity to test ourselves in such conditions. One of our members is experienced in ice swimming, so we had a person responsible for substantive preparation.
