  1. When I was younger and poor in cape town i used to go to the beach in the Atlantic side. Which is cold. I wanted to surf but was not able to afford the surfboard let alone the wetsuit. I could afford the flippers and took up body surfing. I could stay in the very cold water for 20 minutes and sometimes longer if the waves were good. I used the wrist method of knowing when it was time to get out before getting hypothermia. The wrists got slightly paralysed and that was the indication. The sun is very warm in cape town where I'd shiver uncontrollably for 15 minutes and then recover. Now I'm 63 and I'm fighting fit and my best times are swimming. Not so much the cold but the breathing aspect of swimming. I try to stay submerged as long as possible without breathing and swimming hard. Long story. But basically I'm getting sick again because of the Lockdown and my inability to get to Greece where I do the longest swimming. So in a nutshell I believe its the mammalian gag reflex that is the cure all........... Swim as hard as you can without breathing and try to imagine you're a dolphin only popping up for a quick explosive exhale and inhale That's my recipe for good health. Now I'm going to attempt a cold shower.
