Yesterday the Chinese Winter Swimming Delegation met up with the Coney Island Polar Bears for a little swim, the first international dip for the locals. The group was contacted by the Chinese swimmers when they heard they were the oldest winter bathing club in the States, and asked if they would host them. One big difference: the out-of-towners are real deal cold water swimmers, who do long swims year round. However, one Polar Bear who expected for their guests to swim laps around them said, "They hit the water and were out in a matter of minutes. Maybe under 5? And the CIPBC stayed in for their usual 10 minutes."
The groups also joined up off-shore for many, many photos as well as a small ceremony held at the NY Aquarium after everyone dried off, at which time both groups were officially made members of their sister groups.

I read that people who swim across the English Channel smear fat or Crisco all over themselves so they don't freeze in the water.
