Well, those Fins are a little different than you. They actually have clubs where they practice "winter swimming". That's swimming in a hole in the ice - without a survival suit!
And the best thing is... there are even waiting lists to join these clubs as they are so popular.
It's said to give some kind of adrenaline rush or so.
But not my cup of thea either, I must admit... A cold shower during sauna is as far as I want to follow their madness.
