Ice swimming – ‘Ice Mile’ and ‘1 km Ice event’ [PDF]
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2015 Ice swimming for 1 mile and 1 km is a new discipline in open-water swimming since 2009. This study examined female and male performances in swimming 1 mile ('Ice Mile') and 1 km ('1 km Ice event') in water of 5 °C or colder between 2009 and 2015 with the hypothesis that women would be faster than men.Between 2009 and 2015, 113 men and 38 women ...
