People ask what it feels like to swim in cold water. Here’s a link to a blog post written on Christmas Eve 2012 by Paul Duffield who the day before had swum an ice mile. His swim, in 5degC water lasted 38 minutes and I can only manage about 15-20 in those temperatures so what I experience isn’t quite the same, but it’s a great piece.
Enjoy it!
