Wooow, you killed me with the last words of your comment: “snow on the ground”. Sounds amazing. I’d like one day to be able to swim in the freezing water as well. How and why did you start?
To be honest it was just for kicks. We liked getting in the water in the summer even though it was cold. Somewhere along the way we realized it didn't feel much different even when the air temp was low. Turned into 'a thing' for us at some point.
Anyone can do it, it's nothing special, and I'm a pretty average person in all aspects of my life.
