A George Mason University student goes for a dip below the ice in Youtube clip.
To celebrate the end of winter break, a George Mason University student decided to do something “ridiculously epic”: saw a hole in the ice on his frozen pond, dive in, and go for a swim.
Wearing goggles, supervised by his family, and tied to a piece of string (presumably so he could be pulled back through the ice hole should anything go wrong), it takes him just a few seconds to pull off the feat and start celebrating.
Which, well, kind of pales in comparison to the world distance record for under-ice swimming on a single breath: World Champion freediver Stig Severinsen holds that distinction after swimming 250 feet beneath ice measured between two and three feet thick. He, too, was wearing board shorts.
Kids, don’t try this one at home.
