Why swim in a river at 0°C?
There are plenty of reasons: Get out of your comfort zone, build character, discover your limits. There are plenty of justifications: Simply crazy, settling a bet, religious penitence/purification.
All those might apply, however for me it was a CELEBRATION. A celebration of how well I’m doing nowadays.
