Freeze the Fear

I have watched this and obviously all the safety is in place but I would not dream of doing this.
There are therapy centres springing up, the latest 'in thing'. but,
Manchester woman, 39, dies at Peak District cold water therapy camp used by celebrities.....
she was in a group from Manchester

I have a friend who regularly swims in the sea and says her arthritis is much improved by it.
She always has her husband there too, not swimming, for safety.

Wim Hoff is always on This Morning.

Someone in Derbyshire died the other day after jumping into freezing cold water.

Can’t stand being cold so I’ve given it a miss.

Extreme cold is very dangerous. The exhilaration is the short-lived sensation as your body warms up again. Dr Alice Roberts explored this in her programme about wild swimming. Watch from around 18 minutes and see how she can't get out of the pool unassisted.

A mother died recently on one of these challenges. It was in a river. I don't know if she had a pre existing health condition but they are quite dangerous.
