Crossing the cold (Swim Lake Starnberg West to East)
Organization: Adaptation Exchange
Language: English
event free of charge
Adaptation hurts at first. The cold hits, your body resists, every instinct tells you to turn back. But you adjust. You breathe. You move forward - and you're not alone. That is effective adaptation: uncomfortable at the start, possible when prepared, powerful when done together. At sunrise during Munich Climate Week we cross Lake Starnberg, from the west shore to Steg Percha - 1400m in 12-14 degrees. Five months after Climate Week Zurich we are doing it again. Start 7.00am, 5 min walk south-west of Starnberg station. Daniel will siwm - very experienced open-water swimmers may join. At your own risk. Everybody may join us at Steg Percha from 7:45am onwards to warm up together.
