These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,637 What we thought we'd do Chris, is just talk you through the plan, 2 00:00:36,661 --> 00:00:39,205 so you've got a rough idea as to what you're getting into. 3 00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:44,210 So, the main risk is really that the longer you spend in the water, 4 00:00:44,294 --> 00:00:47,797 the risk goes up exponentially. If you push yourself beyond the point 5 00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:50,800 at which you should be coming out, there is a real risk you could die. 6 00:00:52,802 --> 00:00:54,054 Yup. 7 00:00:55,638 --> 00:00:56,890 As you can tell, 8 00:00:57,348 --> 00:01:00,685 the safety team have one or two concerns about what I'm about to do. 9 00:01:01,811 --> 00:01:03,063 So do I. 10 00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:07,071 Right, this is where we switch it on now, okay? 11 00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:11,196 Somehow, I've been talked into an open water swim... 12 00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:12,614 Good. 13 00:01:14,365 --> 00:01:15,658 ...in the Arctic. 14 00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:18,119 Impose your will on the sea. 15 00:01:19,829 --> 00:01:21,748 Two minutes! Two minutes! 16 00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:26,461 And if there's one thing I really, really hate... 17 00:01:30,131 --> 00:01:31,257 it's the cold. 18 00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:38,640 Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? 19 00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:53,738 - Special change of scenery. - Epic surroundings. 20 00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,050 I'll say, there's no mangoes falling off the trees here! 21 00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:57,283 Yeah. 22 00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:03,623 As part of my mission to live longer, I've traded the warmth of Australia 23 00:02:04,415 --> 00:02:05,625 for the frozen north. 24 00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:10,213 And along for the ride, I've got these jokers. 25 00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:13,883 My younger brother Liam, and my older brother Luke. 26 00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:18,138 When I invited them to hang out at the beach, 27 00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:20,223 not quite sure this is what they imagined. 28 00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:22,475 Feather that clutch, mate. 29 00:02:22,851 --> 00:02:25,520 Dude, I can't feel the floor. These boots are a bit thick. 30 00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,856 We've let the worst driver of all drive us. 31 00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:29,542 - Why is Chris driving, mate? - Are you kidding? 32 00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:31,025 I'm the best driver ever, dude. 33 00:02:35,738 --> 00:02:38,825 We're here with a man who says extreme temperatures are actually 34 00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:42,495 gonna be good for me. Sports scientist, Ross Edgley. 35 00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:45,874 I mean, it doesn't get much better than this really, does it? 36 00:02:45,957 --> 00:02:49,669 I mean, as a training ground, as a sports lab... 37 00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:51,838 I'm in my element. 38 00:02:51,921 --> 00:02:53,965 I don't know how comfortable I am with that! 39 00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:59,762 Ross Edgley is one of the fittest humans on the planet. 40 00:03:02,932 --> 00:03:05,268 The kind of guy who takes everything to the limit. 41 00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:12,025 He's the only person in the world to swim all the way around Great Britain. 42 00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:16,029 And he did it in 157 days straight. 43 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,494 But then he takes it even further... 44 00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:26,956 ...you know, with, like, swimming in ice-cold water. 45 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,050 I believe we humans only really thrive in the face of adversity. 46 00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,930 You find out about your physiology, you find out about your mentality... 47 00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:46,476 and there are now theories that subjecting your body to extreme temperatures 48 00:03:46,684 --> 00:03:48,603 could even help you live longer. 49 00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:57,028 And that is why I signed up for this Arctic adventure. 50 00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:04,160 Ross might love the cold, but I'm more like Goldilocks. 51 00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:07,664 Not too hot, not too cold, I'm happiest right in the middle. 52 00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:12,168 And you'd think that staying in a comfortable temperature 53 00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:15,129 is also the best way to keep healthy for the long haul. 54 00:04:15,922 --> 00:04:20,343 But new science says embracing extreme cold, and extreme heat... 55 00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,389 could force your body to upgrade its defenses... 56 00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:29,644 and power up its microscopic repair systems... 57 00:04:31,688 --> 00:04:36,192 which could cut the risks of disease, and maybe add years to your life. 58 00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:42,573 So, it's time for some serious shock therapy. 59 00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:49,747 After three days of training, Chris will attempt a cold-water swim 60 00:04:49,914 --> 00:04:52,709 that's going to test his body to the absolute limit. 61 00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:58,339 Two hundred and fifty yards across a bone-chilling Arctic Fjord, 62 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,592 wearing nothing but swimming trunks and a smile. 63 00:05:04,053 --> 00:05:08,683 If he can endure that, then maybe he could fall in love with the cold... 64 00:05:10,601 --> 00:05:12,603 and make it part of his life. 65 00:06:02,695 --> 00:06:06,449 So, how's your Australian physiology coping with this? 66 00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:10,661 It's in complete shock right now. My ears are about to snap off. 67 00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:16,501 They're like little icicles and I'm a little concerned. 68 00:06:26,511 --> 00:06:28,763 This is the plunge. 69 00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:31,724 Yeah. 70 00:06:31,849 --> 00:06:34,119 And I want you to basically get down to your trunks, get in, 71 00:06:34,143 --> 00:06:37,313 and I just want you to experience the cold at its rawest form. 72 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,357 - Yeah. - Think of it almost like a baptism. 73 00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:41,502 That's what we're doing. Because you need to understand 74 00:06:41,526 --> 00:06:43,319 what's going on inside the body. So... 75 00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,780 Oh, it knows it's gonna freeze in a second, yeah. 76 00:06:45,988 --> 00:06:47,323 - Yes. Yeah. This is it. - Yeah. 77 00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,885 This is it. No, no, no. But it's gonna be a shock to the body. 78 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:50,952 I'm not gonna lie. 79 00:06:51,035 --> 00:06:52,829 - Yeah. - I'm gonna be so honest with you. 80 00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,288 To prepare for the swim, 81 00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:57,458 the first step is subjecting Chris to full immersion. 82 00:06:58,042 --> 00:07:02,630 The problem is that cold water triggers some really powerful survival mechanisms. 83 00:07:03,047 --> 00:07:05,925 But if you're training for an ice swim, they actually work against you. 84 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,846 I need Chris to understand what those reactions feel like, 85 00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,140 and then start to tame them. 86 00:07:13,015 --> 00:07:14,701 One of the first things that we're gonna experience 87 00:07:14,725 --> 00:07:16,185 is this gasp reflex. 88 00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:17,710 The body's basically just going... 89 00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:20,857 Is exactly it. You wanna gasp, perfectly normal. That is... 90 00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,918 - It's just self-preservation. - Mm-hmm. Perfectly normal. 91 00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,194 - Yeah. Once we start the timer... - Yeah. Yeah. 92 00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:26,946 ...once we're in, make no mistake, 93 00:07:27,029 --> 00:07:29,157 we basically started the timer on hypothermia, 94 00:07:29,365 --> 00:07:32,452 and to put it bluntly, consciousness and dying. 95 00:07:32,535 --> 00:07:35,746 And saying, "goodbye, life." Yeah. All right. 96 00:07:36,372 --> 00:07:38,916 Oh, yeah. Here we go! 97 00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:42,462 Before we let Chris loose in open water, 98 00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:45,214 I want to see if he can get through the initial shock 99 00:07:45,631 --> 00:07:48,968 and tough it out for at least a couple of minutes here in the harbor. 100 00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:54,015 Do I reckon this warm-blooded Aussie can do it? I don't know. 101 00:07:55,057 --> 00:07:56,642 Oh, yes, this is a great idea! 102 00:07:56,767 --> 00:07:58,686 - Here we go. - Follow my lead. 103 00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:04,692 All right. 104 00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:16,454 - That's it. Breathe, breathe. - Oh, boy. 105 00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:20,082 Good. Good. Really good. 106 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:21,542 - Breathe. - Wow! 107 00:08:21,792 --> 00:08:24,271 Okay, there you go, okay.
