Welcome to this special edition of Sparta Chicks Radio as we count down the 5 most popular episodes of 2021.
The #4 most popular episode of Sparta Chicks Radio in 2021 was Tara Diversi on Swimming the ‘Ice Mile’
The next time you hop in an ice bath or stick a sprained ankle into a bucket of ice water, I’m sure you’ll think of this episode of the podcast with Tara Divesi.
Tara is a Sports Dietitian and an Accredited Practising Dietitian and an accomplished athlete and marathon swimmer, having completed the English Channel, the Gibraltar Straight, the Rottnest Island swim and the Palm Beach to Manly swim here in Sydney (amongst many others).
But the focus of this conversation is on her most recent, and coldest, challenge - becoming the first Australian woman to complete an Ice Mile.
That is swimming one mile (1.6km) in water that is 5 degrees or less.
To put that into perspective, ice baths used by athletes to help with recovery generally sit around 14 degrees.
So why does a woman who lives in tropical Far North Queensland set a goal to swim a mile in ice water?
Let’s find out!
