DARK, COLD and SCARY
The British seem to enjoy unusual sports more than most other nationalities. But the Bog Snorkelling Championship is one of the strangest. It takes place every year in Wales. The competitors have to swim 110 metres through cold, dark, muddy water - without using their arms! And they have to keep their faces in the water at all times, breathing through a snorkel.
Who would want to compete in a horrible event like that? Well, in fact more than 100 people enter it each year, many of them from other countries. Dan Morgan from Wales is the current champion. He finished the course in 1 minute 30 seconds - a world record.

Is bog snorkelling really so nasty? Sheelagh Tompkins, the woman who started the tournament, says yes. ‘It’s dark and you can’t see, and that’s scary.’ So why do the British enjoy such unusual sports? Perhaps it’s because we have a chance of winning!
