There will be video. Not sure how good it will turn out. It wasn't a proper video camera. More like a digital camera that can do some video. I think it could be a fun promotional video for FSP on YouTube, particularly if they edit well and add some cute music.

And they call me crazy.  ;)  Well, at least you didn't go into shock. Sometimes I used to go into a mild shock when Dada would leave the little shower plunger thingey up so that the shower would come on immediately (before I had time to warm the water up.) I always used to plot his death by torture when he would do that. Cold water makes my heart hurt. You are insane. But you are alive, and that's all that matters.

Anyone interested in another swim on Jan 1?

Someone said it takes about 15 minutes to risk hypothermia at those temperatures. I wouldn't dare come close to that but I was thinking maybe 3 mins is a pretty safe margin. I can say after doing it that there was no risk of hypothermia for what we did, at least not for me and my metabolism. Other than my feet hurting, I was comfortably warm again in moments.

Oh Hells yeah! Why are we waiting so long? March is supposed to have even colder water. Actually, I think the seacoast group is planning another one in March.

Trying to balance it out after the jello wrestling video, eh?

If I'd seen a polar bear swim BEFORE I signed up, I probably wouldn't be here right now.
