The goal of the activity was to promote health and wellbeing, as winter swimming is very healthy for the heart and our skin. We also wanted to integrate Erasmus students into our culture, as the Kortowski Lake very often serves as a winter swimming place in the winter mornings.
Students gathered at the beautiful Kortowski Lake that our university campus offers to take a daring dip into the cold water. Erasmus students are well informed on how to prepare before taking such a dive. All bundled up, the students made their way to our beautiful lake. Some stretching and mental preparing beforehand and they were ready to go into the water. Ice bathing makes the heart start working faster, which results in better blood supply to organs and tissues. Thanks to this, the body can quickly removes toxins.
