An outdoor swimming pool in winter holds little attraction for most people, but for Quinn Boyle, it’s where he is on fire.
Boyle, brought up in Ōtamarākau, was part of the 15-strong New Zealand ice swimming team, the Frozen Ferns, that competed at the sixth World Ice Swimming Championships in Molveno, Italy, earlier this year.
The 19-year-old claimed silver medals in the men’s 18-24 age group 500m and 1000m and was fifth and sixth overall respectively in the two events.
It was Boyle’s second world championships, having competed in France two years ago.
