Cold Water Swimming.

Seriously? How bored do you have to be to do this regularly? Swim across the atlantic or across the english channel and call it a cold water swim but don't swim across a pool and call it a sport because the water is icy cold.
As far as I understand, the objective has nothing to do with how fast you can swim but how silly you can look doing it.
I do believe that is a gerbil of some kind.
