One of the oldest “polar bears” clubs in Ufa, Russia is based on Soldatskoe Lake in Yakutov Park. The swimming sessions are available four times a week - on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from October 1st to May 1st. The weather doesn’t matter.
In this video the guys are swimming at -10C (15F). However, that is yet considered as not too cold for body tempered people like this.
