Organised by the International Winter Swimming Association, the competition takes place every two years. It offers over ten distances and disciplines, from untimed swims to 200-metre endurance swimming, including breaststroke, freestyle and relays.
Winter swimming enthusiasts can take part without belonging to a swimming club. The website provides an event map, accommodation listings and email contact details.
