Arctic Swimming with Lewis Gordon Pugh

We've all seen those fat, old Russian guys who like to cut a hole in the ice and jump into the water in the middle of Winter, or the "Polar Bear Club", which does the same. Well, National Geographic Adventure wants to introduce you to Lewis Gordon Pugh, an "extreme swimmer" who takes the concept even further. In their interview, Pugh talks about swimming in the waters surrounding Antarctica wearing nothing but a Speedo, avoiding leopard seals, and preparing for long distance swimming in frigid waters. Definitely not my cup of tea, but interesting none the less.
