Live Meddings is dipping in the cold water in Norway

La natation en peaux et l'amour de l'eau froide

L'eau est beaucoup plus dense que l'air, c'est pourquoi elle semble beaucoup plus froide.


En dessous de 15°, on peut être victime d'un choc dû à l'eau froide. À 10°, on a du mal à contrôler sa respiration. À 5°, on a l'impression que l'eau brûle la peau. Et en dessous de 5°, je grimpe dans une piscine et je me prépare à faire la course.


Je ne suis pas surhumaine. Je suis Liv Meddings , « juste » une mère de trois enfants de 44 ans, sans expérience de natation, qui a décidé d'essayer quelque chose de nouveau : la natation en eau froide.

Liv Meddings est dans la piscine d'eau froide pour une

Abandonner la combinaison de plongée pour nager avec des « skins »

À l'automne 2020, j'ai mis ma fidèle combinaison en hibernation pour profiter de la baisse des températures de l'eau en nageant en « skins » (juste un maillot de bain).


J'ai toujours aimé nager, mais nager en eau froide était quelque chose de différent – ​​et j'ai tout de suite été accro. Le frisson initial qui vous fait douter de votre santé mentale , la joie de nager en elle-même. Rien ne vaut une journée froide et ensoleillée et le tintement de la glace flottante (malheureusement limité au Royaume-Uni, mais qui en vaut la peine).


Le sentiment d'accomplissement, les frissons qui suivent la descente, les rires avec les amis et l'exaltation qui s'ensuit. Ce formidable buzz post-nage que je n'arrive pas vraiment à expliquer .


Je voulais vivre l' expérience de la natation en eau froide . J'ai commencé à enregistrer mes temps dans l'eau et j'ai décidé d'essayer une course de « nage sur glace ».

Le catalyseur qui m’a fait passer à un nouveau sport ?


Après avoir eu mes jumeaux, j'ai voulu me remettre en forme et j'ai donc décidé d'essayer quelque chose de nouveau. J'avais besoin d'un objectif pour m'entraîner, alors, poussée par un « je te mets au défi », je me suis inscrite à un triathlon sprint local.


Comme il s'agissait d'une nage en eau libre, je suis allée dans un lac local avec une combinaison empruntée et j'ai fait ma première nage en eau libre - c'était en 2018. Il ne m'a pas fallu longtemps pour raviver ma passion pour la natation. J'adorais nager à l'école, mais je n'ai jamais participé à autre chose qu'à des événements interscolaires.

J'ai commencé à nager régulièrement en m'inscrivant à des épreuves de natation en eau libre plus longues. Par la suite, j'ai nagé Ullswater et Windermere (11 miles, ce qui est ma plus longue nage à ce jour).

Quand j'ai commencé à nager pendant l'hiver, un ami m'a parlé de natation sur glace et de compétitions. J'ai pensé que cela semblait tout à fait fou, alors j'ai postulé pour rejoindre l'équipe IISA GB et j'ai obtenu une place en 2022.


Nage sur glace

Selon l'Association internationale de natation sur glace (IISA), l'eau doit être à 5 °C ou moins pour être considérée comme de la natation sur glace .


Le « coup de grâce », c'est un Ice Mile, un exploit épique que j'aspire à réaliser à un moment donné.


Dans tous les cas, quelle que soit la température de l'eau et la distance, les règles restent les mêmes : seul un maillot de bain standard, des lunettes et un bonnet de bain sont autorisés. Pas de néoprène ni d'accessoires thermiques.


Depuis que j'ai découvert ce sport de niche (mais en pleine croissance) de la natation sur glace, j'ai eu la chance d'être sélectionné pour représenter l'équipe GB pour participer aux Championnats du monde IISA en France 2023 ( obtenant respectivement l'argent et le bronze par groupe d'âge au 50 m et au 100 m brasse ) et aux Championnats d'Europe IISA en Roumanie en 2024, où j'ai remporté le bronze par groupe d'âge au 50 m dos.


J'ai également participé aux Championnats du monde de l'Association internationale de natation d'hiver (WISA) en Estonie,


J'ai également participé aux Championnats du monde de l'Association internationale de natation d'hiver (IWSA) en Estonie cette année, où la température de la piscine (la mer Baltique) n'était que de 0,8°C. Quand l'eau est aussi froide, on obtient instantanément un bronzage de homard !


Ici, j'ai gagné le bronze AG en 25 m et 100 m brasse.


La communauté internationale est formidable, avec des visages familiers qui apparaissent à chaque événement, générant une rivalité amicale. Bien que relativement novice, j'ai apprécié chaque seconde. Cela a amené la natation en eau froide à un tout autre niveau, j'ai même réussi à remporter quelques médailles par groupe d'âge en cours de route, ce qui a été la cerise sur le gâteau !

Sécurité dans la baignade en eau froide

La baignade hivernale comporte certains risques et il est important d’en être conscient.

L'Outdoor Swimming Society offre de précieux conseils à ceux qui sont prêts à franchir le pas, et de nombreux sites de natation organisent des séances d'initiation à la natation en eau froide .


L'eau glacée ajoute certainement une dimension supplémentaire à la natation en plein air. Ne vous comparez pas aux autres nageurs, chacun s'adapte différemment et aucune nage n'est identique. Il existe de nombreux facteurs internes et externes qui peuvent avoir un impact sur chaque nage.


Que vous choisissiez de porter une combinaison, un bikini ou quelque chose entre les deux, cela n'a aucune importance : en fin de compte, c'est une question de plaisir et d'accomplissement personnel . Qui sait où cela pourrait vous mener !

Quelle est la prochaine étape pour moi ?

La participation aux épreuves est autofinancée. Cet hiver, je me concentre sur les épreuves qui me permettent de tester de nouvelles distances et de m'inscrire aux courses que je souhaite, plutôt qu'à celles pour lesquelles je suis sélectionné.

Le journal d'hiver n'est pas encore complètement publié, mais j'ai une « ouverture de saison » à Lincoln début décembre et je garde un œil sur les événements en Lituanie et en Autriche. À long terme, j'aimerais parcourir un mile de glace, mais je commencerai par un kilomètre de glace cette année.

Comment rester en sécurité lorsque vous débutez la natation en eau froide

Si vous envisagez de vous lancer dans la natation en eau froide ou si vous souhaitez vous lancer dans la natation sur glace, assurez-vous de bien comprendre les règles.


  • Apprenez à reconnaître les signes du choc thermique et de l’hypothermie
  • Augmentez progressivement votre tolérance : cela signifie commencer à utiliser les « peaux » avant l'hiver et augmenter votre temps dans l'eau lorsqu'il fait froid !
  • Entrez lentement dans l'eau, cela vous aidera à vous acclimater. Éclaboussez votre visage, trempez vos mains, contrôlez votre respiration
  • Nagez avec un ami ou trouvez un groupe pour nager en eau froide. Vous pouvez vous entraider si vous commencez à montrer des signes de choc dû à l'eau froide.
  • Apprenez à vous échauffer efficacement (et lentement) après votre nage et à éviter les chutes après !

Are you ready for the Arla Great North Swim in June? @zone3official takes you through ‘sighting’ in open water, so you swim in the right direction and don’t zig zag your way around. Practicing sighting before the event will make sure you swim in a straight line and ensures you don’t swim further than you need to on the day. If you’re swimming in the pool, why not grab a bottle and use it as a marker at the end of your lane. Try to lift your eyes or head to look at it every few strokes. If you can practice in the open water, a landmark in the distance is a good marker to swim towards too! #openwaterswimming #zone3 #zone3official #greatnorthswim2025

Did you know ZONE3 revolutionised T1? The now iconic speed cuff was a game-changing innovation that made wetsuit removal faster and smoother. A feature that most of us take for granted these days, but didn’t exist 16 years ago! What began on our OG Aspire back in 2009, has since been adopted throughout the Zone3 range (including the NEW Aspire) and across the whole industry. 👊 📍 Quays Swim, Mychett
