01-02-2017 15:00

The Open Water Swimming Championship took place in Minsk, Belarus. Hundreds of people from across Europe came to take part. This was the second year of the icy event, which has become a hotspot for thrill seekers.

One man said that the event is becoming a club for people who are involved in extreme sports. He said that with their feedback, the event will improve. He hopes that there will be an ice swimming World Cup next year.

Difficult words: hotspot (a popular thing), thrill seeker (a person who wants to do exciting things).
