***Throwback Thursday*** Ever heard of winter swimming? Its the sport of swimming in an unheated pool, outside, during winter. It was popularized by Professor Louis Sugarman, known as the human polar bear, in the late 1800 as he attracted hundreds of spectators with his daily plunge in the Mohawk River (even when the it was -23 below zero).Today its a championship sport and an annual tradition to take a polar plunge in Europe, China and even North America. There will even be a Big Freeze Polar Swim in Cape Town this weekend! Crazy might just be contagious! #ThrowbackThursdays #PolarSwim #Freezing
