Ice Swimming

In the biting cold of Switzerland’s lakes, from Unterägeri to the high alpine valleys, Toni Enderli trains wherever he finds icy waters. The extreme athlete, known for testing the limits of body and mind, has immersed himself in the world of IISA ice swimming—where water hovers near freezing, and each swim is a raw confrontation with nature and self.

But Toni isn’t just swimming for personal glory. He’s building something colder, deeper, and more meaningful in his local community. From early-morning dips to full-fledged training sessions, he’s brought a growing circle of swimmers into the ice, showing them that courage isn’t about comfort—it’s about showing up when everything tells you to stay on land.

That same drive took him to Molveno, Italy, where he competed in the IISA World Championships—a gathering of the world’s toughest ice swimmers. Shoulder to shoulder with athletes from across the globe, Toni flew the Swiss flag with pride.

This isn’t just about sport. It’s about spirit. And Toni Enderli is proving that even in freezing water, there’s a fire worth following.
