    I jumped into a 56 degree F pool last night, but I don't think that's cold enough to get hypothermic, is it?

    Isn't that quite warm? Wouldn't we northerners consider that a hot tub? 😂🤣😂🤣

    For how long can one swim in 14 C degree water? :grey_question:

    Wouldn’t that depend if you found that temperature comfortable or not?

    Would you call me crazy if you knew I swam in the Pacific Ocean when it’s 11C? 🙈

    Perhaps I’ve heard it before? 😂

    Have you done it? Isn’t it refreshing in the hot summer?

    What was the initial shock like ? Would you do it again ?

    Would you believe I like water bathtub warm and even then I get really cold really quickly? Might this be the reason I never really learned to swim?

    Initially? Maybe like a punch to the chest? 😆
    Absolutely; didn’t I say I was crazy?

    Isn't it only once you get out of the pool that you get cold?

    Might some people just be really sensitive to water temps? Isn't it weird I'm freezing in a pool but can skate on ice in a t shirt?

    A super Saturday, and would you believe I swam in a 64 degree pool today?

    What made you go swimming in such cold water?
  • frankwbrown
    frankwbrown Posts: 14,150 Member
    Swimming is my preferred exercise, and I knew my gym's outdoor pool would be warming up, so how else would I find out whether it's warm enough for me to tolerate yet?
    How is everyone else burning those extra calories?

    Do you burn more calories when you swim in cold water?

    Don't you want to learn .?

    Does the body work harder to try to stay warm in cold water? Does a wetsuit cause added resistance requiring greater effort? In my case, wouldn't a slower pace at a lower heart rate in cold water versus warm suggest more calories were burned in warm water than cold?
