1 Mile in Cold Water || Part 1 - Acclimatisation 

Had no idea you were a Dundee boy! could never place your accent!

Yay

Yes mike!

Mike Boyd the training area is the Ferry isn’t it Mike?

Why didn't you put that jelly fish back?

for someone who has been in the pool swimming every day for 10 years: it doesnt get better...

True

Ur right bro😂

still think twil was the best name

Yeah

my family had the same response when I showed them an early cut. Sorry. :(

Don't worry. This is just Average Mike.

@@MikeBoyd I guess it becomes an expected quote so my brain was massively confused😂

Like the seizure he had when he did dice stacking?

He missed a golden opportunity to say "this is day one, shower zero"

I swear

That's me, if you just give it a while in the water without getting out you'll get used to it me and my friends jump in the water and just wait till we are used to it which takes about 10 minutes

Same

I mean as someone who has been swimming five days a week for three years and who just got out of a professional swimming pool (which are cold in order for you to speed up) it’s not as bad as he makes it out to be

the swimming pools that are "cold" are around 22-27°C.. 10°C as a water temperature is absolutely fricking cold 😄

Jag Äger thx

Actually 1.609 km I know you don’t care

Thanks man you’re awesome

at first i thought 2.092 km

Karina Suard oh really?

Just another normal day in mike's life

It was 70°

It was like 50 degrees (pretty cold for water)

thats like painfull cold for water tho

FutureNow test

I noticed it right away

same!

I fucking died when he didn’t say hour zero

Shower zero

Nick Sweden this is the best way to describe the stupid shit I watch.

Nick Sweden 7:34

Uhm

Kerb also!

kerbal

He’s British. We use a fucked up mix of metric and imperial

@@chriswyatt9869 You mean Scottish?

Anonymous Kitten believe it or not Scotland is in Britain. Hence why I called him British. He may not like it and be preferred to be called Scottish, but he is still british.

A european mile is 10 kilometers

@@gridlox9900 Wait what? I mean, I'm from a pretty Eastern place, but I never knew that. THE MORE YOU KNOW KIDS

You got me! Did not expect that.. Loved it!

This is a brilliant, outrageously specific pun.

should of said that. I should of said that!

.fuk of m8

I fuking died when he didn’t say hour zero

Surprisingly good grammar, spelling, and punctuation for a kid

Keep doing what you love! 🏊‍♀️

@@sandc9514 she didn't use commas tho

@@Spectator9672 good enough grammar

@@Spectator9672 To be fair it is the internet, and it isn't too annoying since no one uses punctuation besides grandmas anyways

I made too with cold water but I don't want to do that because I'm not sure if it tastes good or bad

@@mimimircevska3955 the water tastes good

@@myluciusdemon ye

Its calles breathing or hyperventilation

@@andrewr888r r/woooosh

Me tooooooooooooooo

He only has 4 weeks to do it so there's no point

Same

Same

I thought it was day 1 out of 0. Oof scottish accent

Idk, good?

Lol waiting for part 2 lol.

Hello

Of course part one was amazing. Can't wait for part 2 :)

very inspiring my friend ;) love your work thanks for creating this for us, peace

Thanks man this helped a lot

As a national level swimmer myself I can say this is great advice for beginners and people trying to get into swimming!

Oh dang good job man

I swim competitively and in the ocean, your stroke just starts to fall apart due to the cold. Sometimes in the ocean, one or two breaths head up every now and then can really help correct stroke. Also, to get over cold shock, put you feet in the water for a bit before swimming. This is only needed in ocean because the pool is warm enough. However these tips are good for beginners.

*YES*

Uhhhh can I show them 50 things I can do?.

Am I aloud to bring a saber?

it was shower zero.

Different series

He only has 4 weeks to do it

i mean he cant stay in the water for long time and for days he would drown and die or freeze, but 99.9999% die from drowning.

@@dynamoksanimation9409 Where tf did you pull that statistic out from? Your ass?

or just like, more youtube videos like this! why does it have to be on TV?

no one watches tv except for grannies

Bobby Halick if he gets a tv show with the right channel, he can have a much higher quality of a video in less time. Meaning more videos but better quality.

@@dabdotnet nope-eroni.net, maybe at the most RU-vid original funding or a brand deal budget could allow for more expensive ideas though. Not that Mike couldn't make an amazing TV show, but you almost certainly would get less content. Making TV is 10x slower and involves hundreds more people. Mike's videos are special because HE'S the one making the content, it's personal. He could make a great TV show with the right network / team, but it wouldn't (and shouldn't) be like his RU-vid channel, and just because it's on TV wouldn't make it better content. Production value and money isn't the only thing that makes quality art. Careful what you wish for!

What would it be called tho

As also a swimmer I can say: if you have problems with your hearth, go in the water slowly. Otherwise you risk your live

As a swimmer when I swim in my pool at home it’s freezing g cold, colder than that river and I think it’s warm. And everything you said is true

Yea I almost passed out when I jumped to freezing cold pool, my body was frozen and I cannot move at all felt like a brick

As some lazy person that does nothing all day under a blanket, you shouldn't even do anything just watch other people like him do it instead of yourself. And you won't get sick.

I Just realized that i was trained to swim in cold Water by my father He Always went to a lake with me and the temperature was lower then were He swims Edit: sry for bad english

It was apetor

He drinks heavy alcohool to hold up those temperature

65! is 65 factorial so he is close to a googol years old how did he exist that long (joke)

@@totallyrandomthings7066 Apetor is god though

@@Justin-ou6gq he is

Hello sir, there will be 69 parts.

TooGoldGamer go away

TooGoldGamer more like TooShitAdMaker

i appreciate ya

lmfao 10/10

Hehe

i was gonna comment that but i didn’t wanna steel it

Whats that? 1/4 inch penis? Yeah. Oh my, are those 2 nerds? Oh my. Lol

Garrett Wallace 20 degrees Celsius in non regard units.

vili pietarinen I’m assuming you’ve never sat in water for over 2 hours at that temperature

vili pietarinen okay, that doesn’t mean that 68° water isn’t cold to sit it

I’m on my schools swim team and that’s the normal temperature😂

Möth Lämp well idk where you’re from, but in America that’s not legal. International swim regulations even says the pool can’t be any colder than 77° for competitive swimming

water is a lot colder than air

Tew Stronge yeah i was talking about the water

I live in Norway

yourboy Hawk I’m from Canada that’s water would warm my ass up our lakes r 5-6 degrees on average

yourboy Hawk same in sweden

Same and im an open water swimmer

thalassaphobia

I love that game :) but it's an actual word haha

@Teodor Gumovsky that's the actual word and I actually have this sooooo :/

@Teodor Gumovsky yeah tho I legit can't step into a pool if it's not light up

No technically he would be SAS

He is a literal seal

@@AuraEximus why?

Brian Foster isn’t he from UK? that would make him more likely to be UK’s SAS Intead of Navy Seal, in USA

@@AuraEximus he would probably be SBS. SBS is the British equivalent of the US Navy SEALs. Although many just know the SAS, the SBS is just as skilled if not more so.

This channel is his tv show

@@Vojife yes but with a bigger budget

you might want to change your profile picture look up the worst youtuber by pengionz0 if you don't know what I mean

@@bruhmomment2999 Idk I like what he is doing now better than if he had a tv show tbh. I think he deserves the big money, but I like what he does now and would like him to keep it like that.

xD

@Tullory 161

Make sure to be super careful man. I had a friend with me doing basically this in Newport Beach, CA in the Junior Lifeguards program when I was younger. It's called the monster mile. On the day we did it, the water was very cold, a little less than 55 degrees F. My friend had very low body fat, unlike myself with pretty average, so when he did it, something realllly bad happened. According to him, about halfway through the swim when the lifeguard said, "halfway down, halfway to go," he just doesn't remember from then on. When we got to the end of the mile, instead of swimming to shore he started swimming in medium-sized circles. The guards went out and grabbed him and brought him to shore. He was literally purple, and he couldn't speak or really do anything. They wrapped him in towels and put warm sand all around him. The next thing he said he remembers was when he woke up in the hospital covered in burning hot blankets while shivering uncontrollably. His lowest recorded body temp out of the water was in the 70's degrees F. You're normal body temp is 98 degrees F and death can occur below 70. Hypothermia is a scary thing folks.

Thanks for the warning!

@@VienerSchnitzel69 you just scared the hell out of me.. I've been training for the past 3 weeks. Today wad the worst. Swam for 9 minutes. Couldn't stop shivering for 20 minutes after.. Low body fat as well. Gonna be fun.

@@GigaGriefer Make sure you have someone watching you if you are going to do a challenge like this, you never know what could happen. Good luck!

The cold is my warm, warm friend - Wim Hoff, the iceman

What are the techniques? Breathe deep?

DopeDo search wim hof

will definitely check this out!

I do triathlons too

gut

No offence but this technique is stupid

As an almost complete untrained begginer, why do you think your testimony is worth anything? I would pay attention if you were already experienced, and found that this technique *improved* your performance, but as it stands Ive only read testimony from absolute beginners. What sets "ti" apart from just basic efficient swimming technique. Your improvement can be attributed entirely to learning a few key basic techniques

It's not only the human body.

Meisterling the human mind*

Nah, other species can survive much lower and hgiher temperatures Mosquites can live from -30 to +35 celsius

please nerf

Well terry fox ran 3336 miles and he’s only swimming 1mile

Well he is just your average Mike!

I was looking for this comment

Ndk_89 90 I second this.

Yess I agree

This is definitely the key for cold training

Yes i was about to tell him the same!!

Does it really work? I tried it for a few weeks and saw no results. I just kept cold water immersion without the weird hyperventilating before swimming

TheEpicZoo I second this motion

YES

Hah

close your eyes and watch the shower part

Lol true 😂

Unless he's swimming against the current (unlikely in a river) he will probably still only swim a mile, he will, _travel_ more than a mile

TheStudio the master

What

What

@@paulybeatz3688 look it up, its amazing.

@@joselovestamales256 same

A 21 degree shower is dope, not even cold

Yeah but there's a lot more water when you swim

It’ll feel cold because water is way more heat conductive than air, so it’ll absorb your heat much faster than the air.

Yes, that as well

Exposed in swimming water you will lose temp 25/30 times faster

Pig King56 it’s pretty easy

But he is average

That’s almost too easy though... Took me 5-10 minutes to learn. Butterfly knife tricks would be cool though.

So True

Mount. Dew I think the other part is worse. That moment when it just barely touches the water... It’s the reason I always try to just dive in if possible.

Very true

@@jadeeeen for me armpits are the worst

and stomach

tomorrow 26

you are trying to swim 25 meters while i can't swim at all

Ive swam about 2 miles at a go in a little bit less than room temperature sea water but this . This would be crazy hard to do if i dont get used to the water temperature like he did .

I swam about a mile in 22-25 degree seawater against the current and it destroyed me, I could barely move the next day. On the plus side, swimming back, I nearly didn't have to move how strong the current was

Yeah, it cures cancer too -.-

the only problem is that the water is cold

@@cuvius2295 don't believe theres scientific studies to back everything up or ...have a cold shower.

@@rehan8480 just do it don't be a pussy

I used to get cold showers everyday before going to school when I was a kid, you definetely get used to it and it becomes enjoyable

Sorry hard

Yes. Everyone swims in very cold rivers in Finland... ? Chill out. Scotland is in northern Europe too my guy.

Yeah I learned as early as possible (about 4) and I swim whenever I can
