Hopefully not. As with any activity there are risks so be aware of those risks and mitigate them if possible. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, asthma or are pregnant then seek medical advice before plunging into cold water. If you can’t swim then please don’t start cold water swimming until you have learned.
Follow the same risk assessment and safety procedures that you would do with any open water swim – know your entry and exit points, be aware of tides and currents, look out for sharp objects/ rocks etc underfoot, don’t swim alone. The safest place to cold water swim is at a supervised and lifeguarded swimming lake.
For the inexperienced, the biggest danger from sudden immersion in water that’s significantly cooler than your body temperature is cold water shock. This is the body’s initial and automatic response to rapid change in skin temperature. It causes, among other things, a sharp intake of breath, an increase in breathing rate and an increase in blood pr...
Again, hopefully not; but if you have a heart condition then please check with your GP before swimming. Cold water shock can make you feel as though you are about to have a heart attack. Remember to enter the water slowly and focus on controlling your breathing. As you become more experienced your cold water shock response will diminish.
To protect vital organs in the core, the body restricts blood flow to the limbs when in cold water. If this reaches extreme levels the arms and legs no longer function properly and you can’t swim. If you feel yourself slowing down or struggling to swim, get out.
It’s all a matter of experience! What is unbearably cold for one person can feel totally fine to another. It’s all about acclimatisation and experience. I have swum in water so cold that people had to stir it with brooms to stop it freezing over. So as long as you are acclimatised your body is able to withstand swimming at literally freezing temper...
The colder your body is before you swim, the quicker you are going to get cold in the water. So a quick warm-up on land can be very beneficial. You could invent your own little cold water dance routine, or try jogging or star jumps. Beware though – the warmer you are the colder the water will feel when you get in! You can do the same routine to hel...
Hypothermia occurs when deep body temperature falls below 35°c (95°f) and can eventually lead to loss of consciousness and heart failure. The amount of time you can swim in cold water without suffering from hypothermia is determined by the temperature, your body size and shape and your experience, among other factors. Start with short swims to lear...
You can, but be very careful. Ice is sharp, especially when thin, and can cut you easily. If you want to swim where there is thick ice remember to take an axe with you!
Yes, as you acclimatise and become more experienced you will better able to control your response to cold water shock and be able to withstand colder temperatures.
Dec 2, 2020 · Cold water swimming is a very stressful physiological condition where the entire body is exposed to cold water. Chilled water swimmers, however, through chronic exposure to the cold water environment, are able to reach different degrees of adaptation to the cold.

Oct 7, 2022 · Do you like your water ‘balmy’ and ‘alright (once you get used to it)’ or ‘effing cold’? Read on for our guide to cold water swimming temperature. Plus how to prevent cold water shock, hypothermia and after drop.
Oct 9, 2024 · Swim in cold-water sources outdoors if you can. Open-water sources like calm rivers, lakes, and gentle oceans provide great training ground for cold-water swimming. Always be sure to check the temperature and safety conditions before swimming.

Apr 2, 2024 · Cold water’s restriction of blood flow to your limbs impairs your swimming ability and can cause swim failure. This physiological response, known as peripheral vasoconstriction, results in reduced blood flow to the extremities to preserve core body heat.
Jun 6, 2023 · If you’ve gotten very cold during a swim, it’s best not to jump right into a hot shower, as that can speed the release of cold blood in the extremities to the core and cause a drop in blood pressure that could make you pass out or trigger cardiac arrest.
