An Ice Mile is swimming a distance of a mile in water of 5 degrees or below.
With no neoprene, you’re only allowed your swimsuit, goggles, hat. You can wear earplugs, too.

The Ice Mile is a film showing both the beauty and adventure in outdoor swimming – chasing those lower temperatures in the cooling winter, community, pushing distance and the body to its limit. 

The film documents cold water swimmer Becca Harvey over the course of a year, following her journey and her training, documenting what it takes to consider an Ice Mile. It takes us through the beauty and the harshness of UK landscapes through the exploration of bodies of water, celebrating our natural spaces – from mountain tarns to the ocean that surrounds us.
