On Thursday 26 December 2024, Prague's Vltava River beside Slovanský Island will host the 78th Alfred Nikodém Memorial, a celebration for winter swimmers. The race is organised by I. plavecký klub otužilců Praha.
Our second month of winter swimming together at U Žida in Frýdek-Místek is drawing to a close. The river temperature has been falling slowly but steadily. Today, after the snowfall, it dropped below 4°C — the point at which we cold-water swimmers call it “icy”.
