While most Atlantans were left asking “Where is our snow?” Saturday, the Georgia Tech swim team found itself snowbound in Virginia with its meet canceled.

A few of the teammates took advantage of the fresh powder to get some laps in despite being stuck in their hotel.

Georgia Tech shared a video originally posted by freshman Aidan Pastel that features several of the swimmers — clad only in Speedos and swimmer’s caps — that has gone viral.

Georgia Tech was in Christianburg, Va., for a two-day  tri-meet with Virginia Tech and Kentucky.

Hopefully the swimmers didn’t get frostbite and are ready for their next meet when they host Alabama on Jan. 20.
