Welcome back to the MYSWIM Podcast, where we explore the world of swimming through culture, history, adventure, and the people who make the water feel like home.
I’m your host, Michael Helps , and today we’re heading to a place where swimming is more than a sport — it’s a way of life.
Iceland- A land of fire, ice, geothermal magic and some of the most passionate swimmers you’ll ever meet.
Today we’ll dive into Iceland’s swimming history, its cold‑water culture, the best places to plunge, and what you need to know before you brave the North Atlantic.
We’ll also explore the relaxing beauty of the Blue Lagoon as well as the incredible network of swimming pools found in nearly every Icelandic town.
So grab something warm to drink, settle in, and let’s dive in.
Welcome to Iceland & welcome to the MYSWIM podcast.
