Cold Water Swimming
Cold Water Swimming involves immersing oneself in water that is significantly colder than the human body temperature, typically below 15°C (59°F). This activity can take place in natural bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, or the ocean, and is often practiced for its health benefits, including improved circulation and enhanced mood.
Participants in Cold Water Swimming often experience a rush of adrenaline and increased alertness due to the shock of the cold. Safety precautions, such as acclimatization and swimming with others, are essential to prevent hypothermia and ensure a safe experience.
