Free-diver breaks world record for longest swim under ice
February 24, 2021 / 9:39 AM / CBS News Czech diver sets record for under-ice swim
Czech free-diver David Vencl swam nearly 266 feet beneath ice on Tuesday, breaking the world record by braving freezing water in a disused quarry northwest of Prague in nothing but swim trunks and goggles. The swim saw Vencl hold his breath for two minutes and 42 seconds.
Vencl said he felt great after emerging from the hole in the ice that covered the water, which was chilled to a numbing 37 degrees. It was faster than I expected it, he said. I felt great, after all, I trained a lot. I was under the ice three times for 75 meters (about 246 feet) during my training.

Billie Eilish revealed that she’s recorded a new album in lockdown during an interview with Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” Tuesday night. It’s the result of her first prolonged period of not touring since her career began in earnest in 2016.
“I don’t think I would’ve made the same album, or even the album at all, if it weren’t for Covid,” she tells Colbert. “That doesn’t mean it’s about Covid at all, it’s just that, when things are different in your life, you’re different. That’s just how it is. So, I have to thank Covid for that, and that’s about it.”
