For a year, Wigald Boning went swimming every day, outdoors, in all weathers. He messed with swans and cargo ship captains, swam in the sea, crystal-clear mountain lakes and muddy pools, dived into ice holes and crowned himself on Coronation Day with a dip in London's Thames (anointing with dubious care products included).
In a witty illustrated lecture, Boning takes his audience to the deepest depths and to the crest of the wave of his sporting achievements and, if necessary, also gives tips for imitators: How do you keep the cold at bay when winter swimming? What do you need to consider in the rainwater retention basin at German airports? And: Why go swimming every day for 365 days? Is it nice? Or at least fun?
