This Sport Will Make You Feel like Swamp Thing

Bog snorkelling, according to Wikipedia, is a sporting event where competitors swim two consecutive lengths of a water filled trench through a peat bog. Participants wear snorkels and flippers and can only use flippers to complete the event. These photos by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images are taken from the Irish Bog Snorkelling Championship in Dungannon, Northern Ireland. The World Bog Snorkelling Championship is held every near Llanwrtyd Wells in Mid Wales.
