These Siberian swimmers are obsessed with plunging their bodies into freezing cold water

"The moment of immersion is a sensation of delight. Afterwards there's a rush of energy and my entire body feels relaxed," Mikhail Sashko said to Reuters earlier this year, describing what it's like to plunge into freezing-cold waters.

Sashko is the chairman of the Cryophile club, a cold-water swimming club located in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. There, the air can easily be -22 degrees Fahrenheit, but for these fanatics, that's just the right temperature for swimming.

Though it may seem like a wild idea to go swimming in these conditions, there are more than 300 Cryophile club members who routinely indulge in this practice.
