Czech freediver sets second world record after plunging into frozen lake without wetsuit
set his second Guinness world record Tuesday after plunging 170.9 feet through a hole in the ice into Lake Sils in Switzerland.
The exploit ended with him coughing up blood and spending the night in a hospital, but he was pronounced OK.Shortly after midday, Mr.entered a hole that was bored into the surface ice of the lake. The temperature of the water was slightly above freezing, between 33 and 39 degrees Fahrenheit, and with an ambient air temperature of around 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The water was dark, except for a GoPro camera attached to a rope suspended in the ice for a documentary being made about him. After reaching the end of the rope at 170.9 feet, he tore a sticker off the end of the rope and resurfaced. The whole dive took 114 seconds, longer than he had anticipated.“I started spitting and coughing up blood.
While Mr. Vencl is experienced with cold water and holding his breath, the added factor of water pressure, particularly cold water pressure, made the feat especially difficult. Mr. Vencl’s first Guinness world record was clinched on Feb. 23, 2021, when he swam the 265-foot length of a frozen-over and waterlogged former quarry in Lahost, Czech Republic, in just one breath.
