Wigald Boning

Whether in rivers, ponds, or oceans: Since July 1, 2022, Wigald Boning has been taking a dip in open water every day, come rain or shine, whether sick or healthy, without exception. By now, he’s on a first-name basis with Poseidon, knows all the killer catfish by their first names, and has swum his way to a sizeable following—whose recent gathering on Juist brought the island’s rush-hour traffic to a standstill. A whirlwind of quirky anecdotes and practical tips: It amazes the water lover and baffles the landlubber. Boning’s second slide show on the
topic of “Swimming Days” is entertaining for anyone who’s ever come into direct contact with water—including those who already found his previous show, “Mr. Boning Goes Swimming!,” hilarious. Let the water flow—now with webbed feet!
