Sweden's capital hosted its annual wintery swimming competition in the freezing waters of Hellasgarden Nature Reserve.

Swimming in cold water is a growing sport.

This year, 10 countries were represented at the competition with 156 swimmers participating.

Here is competition organiser Kalle.

There were many swimmers from Latvia including Maria who was excited about her experience.

Many people believe that cold water swimming is good for us.

Aleksander loves the sport and speaks of the advantages.

Belgian swimmer Anne-Françoise prepared for the event by swimming in an open air pool.

She shares how she feels after her first swim.

While this is the first time for some, others like 73 year old Lars have been practising for years.

The swim might be freezing but swimmers are given medals with warm smiles and handshakes.
