My Christmas gift is the greatest article in the history of the Columbia Daily Spectator, wherein a sports reporter describes the swimming team training on the Hudson River with ice floes. Happy hollys! www.columbiaspectator.com/2004/01/23/p...

COLUMBIA SPECTATOR "Not having the pool available has been a huge inconvenience," Head Coach Jim Bolster said. "But the Hudson River is free, and we've had no problems there." The men's swimmers have been training by paddling on ice floes in the river while wearing wetsuits and thermal caps, all during one of the coldest winters in recent memory. The alternative training method takes one of two forms. In one case, one swimmer lies down on a small floe and takes modified swimming strokes to move it across the river. In the other, each division of the team (sprinters, middle-distance, and long-distance) gathers on its own large ice floe and paddles it.
