World Bog Snorkeling Championship



What sounds more appealing: snorkeling in the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean… or snorkeling in a mossy, muddy, stinky bog in the middle of nowhere?  Well, if you’re Conor Murphy, the latter.  Murphy is the reigning two-time World Bog Snorkeling Champion, an annual event that takes place every August in Llanywrtyd Wells, Wales.  Competitors must swim two 60-yard lengths in a bog trench using only flipper power alone — no traditional swimming strokes — a far easier task if you have human-dolphin hybrid feet like Michael Phelps.
