Llanwrtyd Wells, UK. 30th August, 2015. Dave Swift, an engineer from Northampton wears a turtle outfit for the bog event. World Bogsnorkelling Championships, conceived 30 years ago in a Welsh pub by landlord Gordon Green, are held every August Bank Holiday at Waen Rhydd Bog. Using unconventional swimming strokes, participants swim two lengths of a 55 metre trench cut through a peat bog wearing snorkel and flippers. The world record was broken in 2014 by 33 year old Kirsty Johnson from Lightwater, Surrey, in a time of 1 min secs. Credit: Graham M. Lawrence/Alamy Live News
