Description: Lewis Pugh is a modern-day iceman. He can swim in 0º degree water amongst icebergs and brash ice. He is the only person to have completed a long-distance swim in both the frozen waters of the Arctic and the Antarctic. He is also the only person to have completed a long-distance swim in all 5 oceans. In a career spanning nearly 20 years, he has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer and is regarded by many as the greatest cold water swimmer in history. Lewis’s unique ability to withstand the cold and significantly raise his core body temperature before swimming has surprised many scientists and earned him the name “The Ice Bear”.
