The International Ice Swimming Association (IISA) was formed in 2009, with a vision to make ice swimming an Olympic Sport, holds swims in 46 countries, represents 73 countries around the world, and currently has 5,480 international swimmer members. IISA USA launched in 2021 has 335 ice swimmer members.
What about hot water swimming? Where do we draw the line?
All of these minor “sports” that want to be in the Olympics cheapen the accomplishments of sports in which there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of participants worldwide.
I wonder how they choose swimmers.
I did an ice meet back in February 2023 in Vermont.
I wonder if the application is competitive.
