Nice meeting you today Jana.

How do I get started with this cold swimming thing? Been curious ever since hearing about the Wim Hof guy

Robert, likewise, thank you for all your suggestions! I started because of Wim Hof as well. First few months of daily 5min cold showers to build some tolerance and then advanced to swimming in the ocean. It seems challenging at first but luckily (in this case) very addictive so the quick discomfort is a small price to pay..

You really captured the mood of your fellow swimmers. It was a rough swim and I didn’t get punched in my face.

Krikey Jana! Cold water swimming + martial arts at the same time. You must have balls the size of cantaloupes. Take it easy there.

After the other swimmer hit you by accident, was your face bruised?

As I learned that day, luckily bruises do not form when you are punched in a frozen face..
