영하 20도 옴스크서 산타 모자만 쓰고 얼음물 수영 즐겨

Dozens of Siberians bathed in icy water,... in summer swimsuits and Santa hats over the weekend.
It was another regular session,... for a local winter swimming club in the Russian city of Omsk,... where winter temperatures rarely rise above minus 20 degrees.
The members gather every week from December till May,...until the ice melts.
"The weather is great, we feel very good in the water. It feels warm."
The members believe that winter swimming boosts their immunity.
And they are hoping their sessions can help them kick start a happy, healthy new year.
