Bog snorkelling is a sporting event that consists of competitors completing two consecutive lengths of a water-filled trench cut through a peat bog in the shortest time possible. Competitors must wear snorkels and flippers and complete the course without using conventional swimming strokes, relying on flipper power alone. A wetsuit is not compulsory, but is often worn.
The length of the trench is 60 yards (55 m) (traversed twice for a course of 120 yards (110 m)).[1]
The current World Record Holder, Kirsty Johnson, set a time of 1 min 22.56 secs in 2014 .
