00:00 "Winter swimming is a sport to get in touch with nature. I used to see other people winter
00:13 swimming and I felt very intrigued. After some research I found that winter swimming
00:18 is very helpful for the body. Winter swimming can promote blood circulation, increase metabolism
00:23 and improve immunity. After that I fell in love with this sport and I have been swimming
