Ice Swimmers enjoy the extremes of life and sport with personalities that are unforgettable. They possess an internal level of confidence that is unparalleled in the world and are motivated by those who do not share their same goals or belief in the possible. Extraordinarily friendly and positively outgoing, they encourage all to take their life’s goals to the next level and brighten the day of nearly everyone they meet. They are kind and big-hearted with energy levels that are impossibly high to maintain for others. They remain optimistic even under the dreariest of circumstances as they rise to the occasion when least expected by those around them. They do not rush into anything and can acclimate well to myriad conditions as they take their time to weigh the pros and cons of a decision before committing one way or the other.
Extreme Swimmers are adventurous and courageous, with a bit of positive impulsiveness that can rear its head. They stand up for what they believe in and always root for the underdog. They are inwardly intense, but outwardly cool, calm and collected. Their aspirations are unique and challenging, and few distractions or obstacles tend to sideline them. But they constantly face new struggles as they strive to achieve increasingly more difficult goals. With their independent streak aimed at their goals unattainable by others, they tend to be more dominating than others in a crowd. Their egos are large, but with a respectful, charismatic sheen and friendly demeanor. Once they get something in their heads they can't rest until they finish the task and strive to create an ambiance of positive self-belief.
Adventure Swimmers are nature-loving, risk-taking individuals who are sensitive and protective of Mother Nature. They are extroverts and experimenters who are motivated to break barriers. Concurrently, they also understand that they often must stand alone with a mindset and a lifestyle that borders between unusual and non-traditional. Their life is an ever-changing experience of different scenarios where the unexpected is expected and the predictable is unpredictable. Time management is less of a priority than accomplishment of their goals, however long they take to achieve them. They love being social and around others, especially those of the same mindset where similarly minded individuals can feed off the energy of their peers.
Channel Swimmers are reserved, intelligent introverts who understand and accept fate, but who are always hopeful for the best. They are deep thinkers who demonstrate patience in all aspects of their lives. They are relentless in their ambitions with the anticipation that minute changes in their life lead to major improvements over the long run. They are fiercely protective of their own kind with a naturalistic perspective of the world. When they judge issues to be minor, they can be adamant and slightly obstinate in order to resolve the situation they face. But when the inevitable intervenes, they can quickly shift gears to determine a new course of action.
Marathon Swimmers are patient and confi
