Maybe getting immersed suddenly into 38-degree water can cause shock and panic and an involuntary gasp which makes it much worse with inhalation of water and drowning in 30-seconds.

Thing to do is to not panic, place hand over mouth as you fall into the water, and think positive thought .... I can do this! People can survive in icy water for one hour although the hands and feet start to freeze up in 10-15 minutes. The very first minute is probably the most challenging.

Icy cold Russian underwater woman swim .... https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/14/sport...ntl/index.html ..... 40-year old Russian woman, Yekaterina Nekrasova swam for 85 meters (279-feet) and 90-seconds in Lake Baikal, Siberia, totally underwater on January 7, 2021, the Russian Orthodox Christmas Day with water temp of about 33-degrees wearing a Speedo swim suit, swim cap and swim face mask covering her eyes and nose ...... just do it Ekaterina!!! Her arms and legs movement was a wee bit discombobulated without good continuous movement of the arms same as legs. The air temperature was -6. Apparently, no swim flippers were worn, and she swim the underwater breaststroke.

It was supervised with a support team and access holes cut into the ice above the underwater rope line for increased safety. She was not out there, all alone. Check out the video ..... swimming 279', almost a 300' football field in 90-seconds doing the breaststroke while underwater and under the ice.

What is the purpose for that black ring-collar around her neck seen at the finish in the video? Is that designed to be a rescue handle in case she blacks out?

So, was this an on-the-level honest happening or some type of phony-baloney staged charade? One year later, what do the Guinness World Records people have to say about it?

Lake Winnipesaukee NEEDS an underwater swim event like this to be held at the Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby ... https://icefishingnh.com ... next month, February 12-13, 2022. So, where's the ice ....... where-where-where .... is .... the Lake Winnipesaukee ice ...... and where is Ekaterina?
