1. Does anyone know how cold the water is??
2. Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan! 🍻
3. Shout out To The Camera Guy. He Beat The Score. 😂
4. this is not the farthest swim under ice according to the description itself. Fix the title.
5. I'm curious, Is there video of the attempt Wim made where he was WITHOUT goggles and part of his eye (cornea...retina?) started to freeze and he couldn't SEE the exit hole and he missed it?
   (I believe he passed out). Wim discussed this on Joe Rogan's podcast and at least one other interview... so I'm wondeirng, is this one a later attempt?... was it the same day? a different day?...
   Anyone who actually knows?
6. Lol he should of done dolphin kick is there's any swimmers here they will know what they means
7. Вот идиот!
8. Beginning of this comment is full of rubbish
9. What do you mean farthest
10. official he tried 100 meter swimming under the ice but he must to stop because his air in his longs where upand this men is from THE NETHERLANDS!!!! amazing men and nobody can do this better then him NEVER
11. 0:31 Try that swimming in boiling water.
12. Och, you don't die in seconds from swimming in icewater. And even on the northpole the seawater under the ice is not colder than -2 celcius or so. Just google the icemile. Normal people are in 30-40 minutes and walk away unharmed. You just need a bit of training like with everything else. I myself swam more than 5 minutes in a frozen lake yesterday. Feel great. Only started a month ago.
13. Dolboeb!
14. Says he's mastered keeping his internal body temperature the same
    
    "Get that core temperature back to normal."
    Slow clap
15. So how far did he swim ?
16. I am actually very surprised that this record holder is not Finnish. Because we make a hole in the ice and swim there for daily bases.
17. What's the yoga thing call
18. this is quite normal here in finland
19. Lol come to finland!
20. I need to applaud the camera men too. How did they tolerate the cold being in there with him?!?!
