o/t long-distance swimming world record attempt

being a german and a rabid swimmer myself ;-) ...
("While relaxing and sunbathing are the most popular beach activities worldwide, Germans prefer to swim, with a world-beating 82 percent prepared to dip at least a toe in the water. The country also scores highly for snorkelling and diving.")

... i'm keeping an eye on this world record attempt (sans neoprene! - water temperature currently 14°celsius):

WOW!!! He is an amazing athlete. Being able to tolerate the cold water for such a long period is unbelievable. I hope he is successful in his record attempt. Thanks for posting this.

Re: bad weather conditions

the main problem at the moment is not the low water temperature, but heavy rain and a gale warning. lake constance is 'famous' for its fast weather changes ... let's wait and see ...
