Without a wetsuit, a Czech guy descended 50 metres into the cold depths of Switzerland’s Lake Sils and then surfaced, claiming he had performed a tremendous act of human endurance.
David Vencl, 40, quickly descended to a height of 52.1 metres. The achievement comes after David’s induction into the Guiness World Records in 2021 for swimming the whole length of a frozen Czech lake.
Vencl dived through a hole in the ice. He then retrieved a sticker from a depth of 50 meters to prove his feat and re-e,rhed through the same. He spat some blood, sat down for a minute and then opened a bottle of champagne, Reuters reported.
A later visit to the hospital confirmed there was nothing serious.
The Swiss plunge in temperatures of between 1 and 4 degrees Celsius took him 1 minute 54 seconds, his promoter Pavel Kalous said, which was a bit slower than expected.
