In Russia, there are groups of swimmers who practice swimming in cold water. They are called "walruses" and they swim even at minus 10-20 centigrade. It's insane. I once watched a very old looking, skinny gentleman coming out of water. He still had his t-shirt on. He then took off his wet t-shirt, squeezed out the water couple of times, and then put (still wet t-shirt) back on, then grabbed his belongings and walked away. He wasn't even shaking. It was around late November. There was snow. I understand that the temperature of the river was maybe slightly even warmer than the air's, but damn, he put his cold, wet t-shirt on, and walked like it was July in Jamaica.
