Lewis Pugh must be every open-water swimmer's hero.

He's swum every ocean on the planet, including the Arctic Ocean, where he actually swam in seawater at - 5C in just his cozzie.

Oh how I envy him - makes my 7.8C so far look positively tropical.

I remember that last year when Dan challenged all comers to take his "Old King Cold" crown.

Lewis Pugh holds the record for lowest temperature in bare-skin, but Dan may beat him on endurance. I'm sure Dan mentioned he'd invited him for a teeth-chattering duel but I haven't heard anything from Dan for 12 months.

If you really want to feel cold, look here:
