"Lauren Wagland, 24, started swimming in the ponds because she found it an amazing way to destress. 'I began to crave it. When you do it you feel better for the rest of the day,' she said. The nature around the ponds makes you feel like you're in a dream universe, and in the winter it feels calmer and more tranquil with fewer people there."

"If you're convinced to give it a try, don't dive in too quickly: it is important to be careful when cold water swimming, as it can be dangerous."
