On: What it feels like to swim in sub-zero waters

Pffft. Outdoor swimming in Florida? Try baseball or running track in Montana. Snow is the norm, not the exception. In high school, I ran in track meets where you couldn't see from one end of the track to the other, the snow was that heavy.

Sure, but immersion in pretty cold water is different than immersion in very cold air, since air has way lower heat capacity than water does.
