So who's going to take part in the Polar Bear swim this year ? If the weather stays like this it should be good. The water will be warmer then outside.
I will be doing it, have done it many many times.
Once you get the first hit of cold, where you gasp for air, you get use to it pretty fast. It takes a few hours however for the penis to come back.
I have done it a few years but when I did it a number of years ago it was one of the coldest water temps on record - man, it actually hurt - like needles - when you were in the water it was painful.
Some years it is quite nice. I am thinking this year will be cold.
