There seems to be a major rescue operation at a lake near Solihull where several people are in critical condition having been rescued from freezing water. I suspect they thought the ice was thick enough to walk on. Madness.
I have to say, this woman appeared very confident and serene and had clearly gone there to swim. It just fascinates me how people overcome the shock to their body of getting into water that cold deliberately. The benefits to the circulatory system must be immense as long as you don't get hypothermia and getting out must make you feel radiant.
