College team surprisingly good at 'swimming' through snow in Speedos
You got to hand it to these swimmers from Georgia Tech: they're dedicated to swimming no matter what the conditions.
When the school's planned tri-meet in Virginia against Virginia Tech and the University of Kentucky was canceled by heavy snowfall, some Georgia Tech swimmers took matters into their own hands.

Fighting cabin fever, some swimmers went outside and decided to swim anyway in the snow and the results were pretty impressive.
Georgia Tech freshman Aidan Pastel, who posted video of the event, told Buzzfeed News, “We woke up and saw the snow and we were saying, ‘If we don’t end up swimming today, we’re making snow angels in Speedos.'"
Georgia Tech's next meet is back at home in Atlanta, Georgia, which will provide -- hopefully -- warmer conditions.
