I’m getting geared up for my cold sea swim in about 30 minutes. I’m waiting for it to warm up a bit first because this morning there was frost all over the ground when I woke up. I think the water temp is around 48F and I would like the air to be a bit warmer than freezing so I don’t risk getting hypothermia again like I did last winter when I swam in February. I stayed in that time for 30 minutes and was exercising, which caused me to lose too much body heat, hence hypothermia. My radiant heater is on now in my little office, warming it up nicely so that when I return from my cold dip I will be in a nice climate controlled room to get my body temp back to normal. Why do I do these cold plunges? Well, my HVAC dealer had some problems with his immune system and his joints, and the cold water dips are known for helping both of those issues. He told me that his joints are much better now and that his immune system is the strongest it has been in many years, not having one cold since starting the dips five or so years ago. I am working on my heating and cooling system today for a bit before I go to the sea for my energizing dip, and then I will go to the local business and get some food for me and the cats for the week. I won’t have to shop for a week after today, yay!
