The first thing that happens when you get into cold water is the cold shock response – the initial gasp, rapid breathing and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
The secret to acclimatising to cold water is just to swim in it, often – at least once a week, and preferably two or three, gradually extending the time that you stay in the water - The Outdoor Swimming Society
Cold Water Swimming has become a constant in my life, It is a multifaceted experience, It is a union with nature, a reset of the mind, a reconnection with my body, a connection with others, a reminder of my bravery, a release from fear.
This series was made around my regular swims in the cold lakes of Westmeath.
