Has anyone tried it? Did you find it beneficial? Is it achievable to practice in real life?

or is he just a crazy Dutchman, able to push himself to extremes to market snake oil?

I'm a massive wuss at cold water,  but I've kept Wim in my thoughts and been in the sea a fair bit this summer... hot weather might have helped too though.

I have a mate that was inspired by  Wim to do an open water swim every day over the last winter.. I've seen some ace icey selfies as a result. Not sure if he's continuing this year.

yes   i've been doing it for about a year now.  really struggled with the cold showers at first. am now at the stage where I dislike warm showers. the breathing I do on and off because it really only works in the morning (for me) and I also really like sleep.

benefits, I do think it helps with my chronic inflammation a bit, but it's not  a miracle solution

there is a free app so no need to buy anything

i started out with a guided breathing clip on youtube

A few guys in the gym went to the Lake District to do a one day course involving sitting in Lake Windermere. They seem to think there is something in it...

Russell Brand also has him on his recent run of Radio X shows if you don’t want to listen to Pip keep interrupting him.

Read a book about this guy recently. Ice man. Laird Hamilton has adopted his techniques
