What To Expect
In the heart of Helsinki, try how it feels floating around in cold water staying completely warm and dry. With our instructor, hear about rescue at sea, hypotermia and about the benefits in starting ice swimming! Relax lying on top of the water or jump around on floating ice rafts during the winter season (when there is ice). This activity is always done in natural conditions and in the water. In open water season we focus on the rescue at sea, relaxation and also survival techniques. In ice conditions we focus on ice behavior, its effects and relaxation. You can come as you are in normal seasonal clothing to a on-shore location agreed. We provide you with everything you need for the float. Locations may vary due to weather conditions.

5.00Wow, that was definitely an experience. I was extremely nervous before we started walking on the ice and getting in the water, but the guide was so reassuring that we forgot fears and trusted the suits. This is something you need to try

5.00It’s so much fun! The suits keep you warm and it’s a lot of fun swimming in them. Our hosts were friendly and entertaining.

5.00The training team was patient and encouraging. The first time I have done this so we were a little scared. The team put us at ease and we quickly built confidence in the survival suits. Soon we were jumping on the ice to breakthrough. I was concerned about how I would get out of the water and back on solid ice. The instructor explained his technique and it made exiting very easy. I would definitely try this if you have a chance.
Fantastic experience!

5.00Such a nice experience of surviving course on the ice. Though the sea was frozen, we could swim in the iceholes, have fun and enjoy the sun 🌞 Olli the guide was very nice, explained everything clearly and cared for everyone’s safety and comfort during the course. 10/10.
Do it!

5.00Ollie was a wonderful guide and the experience was amazing! We all really enjoyed swimming in the icy Baltic Sea and really didn’t feel the cold. It was a unique experience that my family will hold dear in our memories!
Olli was incredible!!

5.00This was the MOST fun. Olli was so knowledgeable and a great guide. He made sure we were completely safe while we were on the ice. 10/10 experience. They give you extra socks, mittens, and sweaters. I was so warm in the suit it was almost too warm. I would definitely do this again! Highlight of our trip to Helsinki.
Amazing! Especially when there’s ice!

5.00Absolutely fabulous experience in the ice! Ollie looked after us (two women in their 60s) so well and after some relaxing floating amongst the ice we felt brave enough to try walking on the ice until it cracked and broke and we were in the water with the survival suits doing their job brilliantly. Just the best experience
