About the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame
The objective of the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame is to recognize and honor leading ice and winter swimmers and contributors to the sport.
Cold water swimming is growing quickly with thousands of participants and many mass and solo events in more and more countries. The Ice Swimming Hall of Fame serves as a historic record and provide heroes and role models for future generations.
Eligibility into the Ice Swimming Hall of Fame requires that all swimmers and contributors must have an international body of work” over a period of more than 5 years (this may increase in time). A few exceptions may occur for a single/amazing one-time swim which captures global attention.
For swimmers it is their record of ice swims (5C and below) and icy swims (above 5C) including: podium finishes in 1k races and winter swimming events from 25m to 450m; ice miles, inspirational, special locations, first ever swims, altitude and under the ice. All must generally be in traditional open water attire.
