Some of cold water swimming is psychological, just a wee bit wacky but fun, driven simply by how much you really want to do it. Having a bright sunny day definitely helps, as opposed to a cloudy, dreary day. Having a 104-degree hot tub, right close to the lake, outside, helps a lot, since no matter how cold I get, I can do a fast and sometimes painful thaw-warm up in the hot tub.
The cold travels up your arm and legs, and thawing out takes maybe 5-minutes and going from semi frozen to thawed arms and legs is painful, just like thawing out frozen feet and hands ...... supposedly, cold water swimming or wading is good for one's circulation?
