Polar Plunge – Embrace the Cold water Effects of Rejuvenation

Don't let the cold water temps stop you from swimming! Here are tips for swimming in cold water

1. Much of the acclimatization process is mental - embrace it anyway. Don't jump into really cold water unless you're acclimatized.
2. Exhale as you get in. In cold water the ribcage contracts, which leads many swimmers to feeling they can't breath. Exhale and the next breath will come naturally in.
3. Wait 90 seconds. Give your body a little time to react, and soon your circulation will start charging around and you'll feel alive.
