September 24, 2023



Cold water swimming has grown in popularity in recent years, with many participants claiming it has physical and mental health benefits.

Now scientists at Portsmouth University, UK are testing these claims with surprising results.

The university’s Dr Heather Massey says studies have shown that cold water immersion has some “therapeutic effect” on conditions such as high blood pressure, migraines and symptoms of menopause and depression.

  1. doing cold shower is much difficult comparing to cold swimming, you stand in such very thin water and air flowing through, my advise is go straight to the clean ocean, submerging in cold water keeps away the air, with swimcap unless you want to keep it real short like under 2 minutes, dont overstay without headgear, i have tried that and that could kill you for sure even you could stand upright , by the time you noticed that you could no longer command yourself, a sudden current could carry you away , freezing the brain is very dangerous ,go in pair or group if applicable , remember have swimcap ready even you aim for extreme, you may try bare head in the last minute and in very shallow water i suggest knee depth, you will see how helpless you can be without your heart supporting your brain in such condition, 10 to 15degree celciius water is the best temperature it is very ideal for swimming where you could go for some distance,spending around 10 to 30 minutes enjoying water view with sealives, the next level will be under 10 celcius degree which is more like bathing , you cant do much swimming , is all about endurance therein, ice bathing is just like standing in shower with cold water ,too hardcore and almost no fun i find, overall i find cold swimming is very helpful in lessening moral burden, in summer or in places where cold water beach isnt available, i suggest you practise fasting like what Muslims and Buddhists do, cold swimming and fasting both allows you to calibrate your state of being for the better , but remember never overdo, just like anything in nature , overdoing is worse off than not doing it at all

  2. I have been swimming in cold water for 5 years and share this passion with a large community in Switzerland. Keeping a regular routine (everyday) has healed me and I witness, it has transformed many ☺ I noticed starting with a pair can help to start the process and keep you motivated !!
