It’s been snowing and freezing temperatures in Dartmoor so my friend Matt and I headed out to find the coldest water we could for our first ever Ice swim
We are both experienced and acclimatised cold water swimmers, do not try this, for advice please head to the outdoor swimming society webpage

Once again you’ve got me missing Dartmoor. Such a stunning view of Burrator towards the end of the video. Do I miss it enough to go ice swimming though… nope! Good on you both for sharing it with us, thanks for another great vid.

Dartmoor is lovely when it snows, shame it isn’t every year, hasn’t not been that much yet so hoping for more before end of winter

I love watching all your videos, but especially the wild swim/dip ones! I swim in the river all year round on Dartmoor and regularly in the West Okement. I have to wear my neoprene socks (mainly because of the rocky river bed) and gloves otherwise I'm not sure I would last very long! Well done and Merry Christmas!🎅🎄

Wow skimming in this weather, well done. Last week and the week before has been very icy and snowing quite a bit here on the moors. Yesterday it was still icey on some of the bodies of water but I reckon it’s gone now due to the mega amount of rain we have had today. Great video Keep up the great work

Oh my word Laura, I worried about you in this one you can see your fingertips turning blue and hypothermic signs showing while you’re drinking your hot chocolate. BUT I know you’re very experienced and I’m simply not 😊 great I’ve swim! Must have just missed you too I was in the area to see the ice and frozen Moor too! Merry Xmas!

I've been doing some ice swimming the last couple of weeks and have found the colder it is outside the easier it is to get in the water. I have the same problem with the hands though - 2 minutes immersion of the hands in ice and I'm finished.
