Is cold water swimming good for you? - BBC News 

Cured my depression, best thing I've ever done. I went from a state of work from home, stay at home, order in, over eat, smoker to the absolute opposite in six months thanks to cold water swimming.

As someone who I'd describe myself as being extremely lazy and my stubbornness prevents me from coming out of my comfort zone..... I can tell you from person experience that, cold showers literally electrifies your whole body and mind! Swimming in cold water is probably the next level from cold showers. If you are thinking about changing your mindset, cold showers is the best and most effective remedy you'll ever need in your life!

My 80 year old granny still swims in the sea at Christmas

We even swim in the middle of winter in Finland 🇫🇮. That's nothing in this video

Nordic perspective: That is not cold water swimming. Where is all the ice?

Hace mucho sigo investigaciones serias sobre estos temas y la verdad es admirable lo que causa el frío en nuestros cuerpos y sobre todo en nuestro cerebro e incluso en nuestra alma en lo más profundo de nuestros ser. Hermoso video. Saludos de Argentina

I can't swim, but I do enjoy cold plunges after being in a hot tub or sauna. It improves my mood, makes my skin look good, and reduces my leg pain (I have pain in my right leg). It also makes me feel strong.

I love cold water swimming! It’s rejuvenating! I do a warm up first then swim. It calms my mind and rests my body. The water seems warm when you’re moving.

If your mentally prepared and do it slowly its a benefit.But don’t go out topless for a smoke in winter topless.you’ll get pneumonia and pluracy🤢

I don't go swimming but I've been taking a cold shower every single morning for the last 20 years or so and I never got a cold all this time. I mean I sneeze or have a running nose from time to time but never a proper cold with like sore throat or fever. On top of that I flush my nose with a cup of warm salty water twice a day. Don't know which one is working or maybe both but without a doubt it is absolutely effective.

doing cold shower is much difficult comparing to cold swimming, you stand in such very thin water and air flowing through, my advise is go straight to the clean ocean, submerging in cold water keeps away the air, with swimcap unless you want to keep it real short like under 2 minutes, dont overstay without headgear, i have tried that and that could kill you for sure even you could stand upright , by the time you noticed that you could no longer command yourself, a sudden current could carry you away , freezing the brain is very dangerous ,go in pair or group if applicable , remember have swimcap ready even you aim for extreme, you may try bare head in the last minute and in very shallow water i suggest knee depth, you will see how helpless you can be without your heart supporting your brain in such condition, 10 to 15degree celciius water is the best temperature it is very ideal for swimming where you could go for some distance,spending around 10 to 30 minutes enjoying water view with sealives, the next level will be under 10 celcius degree which is more like bathing , you cant do much swimming , is all about endurance therein, ice bathing is just like standing in shower with cold water ,too hardcore and almost no fun i find, overall i find cold swimming is very helpful in lessening moral burden, in summer or in places where cold water beach isnt available, i suggest you practise fasting like what Muslims and Buddhists do, cold swimming and fasting both allows you to calibrate your state of being for the better , but remember never overdo, just like anything in nature , overdoing is worse off than not doing it at all

My gym pool is outdoor, I tried to swim after sunset since January twice a week. The pool is not warm,but not ice cold. The worse is the walk from the locker to the pool 🥶😰

Helps muscle recovery and prevents lactic acid etc

I have been swimming in cold water for 5 years and share this passion with a large community in Switzerland. Keeping a regular routine (everyday) has healed me and I witness, it has transformed many ☺ I noticed starting with a pair can help to start the process and keep you motivated !!

It helps to have a good quantity of body insulation.

It may be but it’s painful

Wasn't for Nicola Bulley..

You either can do it or you can’t. If you can it’s incredible. Always give something a try, research before doing it and be safe in the water

Cold water swimming can be safe and even beneficial for some people, but it can also be dangerous for others.

This also happens in Sydney. And somewhere in Sweden. During Summer, one of my brothers take cold showers.

As a male, two things will happen when going into cold water!. 1. Need to go to the bathroom. 2. My buddy will shrink down to nothing.... .

Sea swimming is definitely beneficial to your mental health I have proven this I swim every day for the past 16 months and I can only share o This is working more people should try this it improves the quality of one's life.

Interesting but the name is misleading, it does not give an answer to the q in the title.

Its additive i feel it takes you out of your head just focusing on breathing but you have to be safe with others

Which model is that laptop?

Cold water bathing is good, it's painful only in the beginning. After few minutes it's ok. But when summer start you will not wear a single thread on your body.

Wow 😮

I don't swim in cold water, but ice baths are great for joint inflammation, and the blood vessel and muscle constriction may help push byproducts through the circulatory system. They're also amazing on brutally hot summer days for some of us.

The sea is absolutely disgusting I would rather swim in a pothole

Good listening for those who are learning English, like me😂

Probably. Will I ever do it? No.

funny you should plop this out today, Denver is having their ''Polar Plunge'' in Washington Park this very cold morning. thing is the lake they're plunging is a haven for migratory water fowl, foul being the operative, shallow goose poop soup for Polar Plunging. mmm Brrrr

I swam in a hole in ice three times within a week. Haven't kept a record of how many times I've done it this winter. It's a great feeling after a dip!

Also in school trip( we stay 2 days) and Thursday was i going to cold swimm pool i was cold.later not very cold (i could swim) and is nice, my arm get hurt when i swimming i was swimming normal idk what going on i get shower get on our girls bedroom thats why i search what happened when u swimming swim pool cold

Hi

The governments new line about the extortion gas prices,” it’s good for you” fkn 1984 man

More to the point the less swimming pools then ever … not enough for use for the general public Still tho looks like good fun

I go to a spa/bath house once a month so I can soak in the hot and warm tubs then take a quick dip in the cold pool. It isn't until I do the cold dip that my bad leg stops hurting.

I have question? I read that immunity works good in hot temperatures,,, so what’s effect cold water on immune system?????

I'm here to listening and práctice English. Warch ando listen videos or bbc, improve My English.

So…?

I'm not sure I can do cold swimming 🏊. I'm prone to leg cramps even when I'm not in water. 🙈🙈🙈 Although I have experienced swimming in cold springs however I always make sure I'm close at the riverbanks, in case I get cramps.

Is drowning in a reservoir good for you? Yeah of course it is!

I'm surprised the BBC did a story with no poc's in it.

👍

But but but the British beaches are contaminated with sewage 😮

Youre joking!

I mean, why do athletes take ice bathes after workouts/competitions? This question has long been solved imo...

yes its good. I do it

Fat (blubber) must be a great advantage in doing this chilling activity.

Using only women is not a great study 😒

I have been using an ice cube or 2 on my face every morning for the past week, helps settle swelling and refreshes the skin👌👌

MENOS LOS CRIMENES DE LOS CENSORES TODO LO DEMAS ES MENTIRA.

I don't think so, because it hurts

Sounded like this was in africa.. not the uk

Too much sewage in the water regardless of the temperature.

you can ask the immigrants who swim english channel to get in, bbc knows

It physically hurts me. Back of my thighs and buttocks become excruciatingly painful

Have you done the ice-water challenge?

Didn't they put patients with mental health problems in ice cold baths/cold showers???

The anchor is not speaking British English on British news

Pretty much equatorial in Portsmouth

I’m waiting for the government to tell me what to do and then I’ll do that. I’m a British citizen.

Stop writing anti-Indian articles to tarnish India’s image. I know India is a rising power and it’s hard to live with that but such articles only strengthens our resolve and unites us.

I can't even swim so what can I say about this report? 🤨, If I can't feel my feet , then I wouldn't enter the sea in the first place

funny, I get in my pool in December in Souther Missouri, it's in the 2o's generally, I have no idea of the water temp, but the pool is covered so obviously it's above freezing. I work out for 30 minutes, sometimes later. It feels good. Try it, you'll like it!

in japan we say 寒中水泳（kanchu suiei）but seems cruel.

Well i'm 70 now...Never went in cold water to swim..Never was sick..My grandmother became 101 ..Never went in swimming water..😲😄😄😄

Bloody 'ell... this is a bit over-done... just get in the water - woman!

Noooo🥰🥰🥰

Amazing

Hypothermia?? 🤔

Men would start talking different

They used to give ice baths in mental institutions in the Uk until the late 80s. It can be of benefit in some cases!

Cost of Ukraine war is the our cost of living

🥶🥶🥶🥶

I don`t like cold water, no way

I watched the programme called “Saving Lives at Sea”. The crew of the lifeboat had to rescue a woman who was quite far out in the sea. She was developing hypothermia. When the lifeboat reached her, she was apologising for being so silly to get into a dangerous situation. The crew told her that she did not need to apologise. The fact is, she was very irresponsible. The RNLI is a voluntary organisation and I hope that the lady concerned made a donation to the charity

日本の精神科医は、お風呂に入ってリラックすることがうつ病に効果があると言っています。 私は、大学時代冷たい水で泳いだ経験があるので、この方法も良さそうに感じました。

Is watching the BBC good for you?

Changing pools for a person who can't swim doesn't solve swimming problems. A person who doesn't understand feelings and love even if he or she often changes boyfriends and girlfriends is a waste of time, maybe he/she will never get other people's true feelings in his or her life. A person who doesn't know how to deal with family conflicts, no matter how rich he is, the family will fall apart. Therefore, as a human being, we must learn to change is the root of everything. Bodhisattvas let us understand that everything in this world is impermanent, and impermanence is changing. If you want to change yourself, you must first change yourself well, instead of changing all the surrounding environment. So learning to change your fundamentals is the most important thing. - Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door Master Lu

Lowers blood pressure and it's better for you.

I dunno Is bbc news actually good for us? 🤔

really, 'bbc news' ? is this what we pay bbc journo's for, while the bbc says it can't afford free tv licences for the elderly !

🎉 so good

Anti depression guaranteed.

It's bad and deadly dangerous.

It's also good for you because your grounding to the earth. The negative charged particles heal inflammation for one thing. Same as walking barefoot on ground but it the best results take an hour I believe. U can't stay in cold water that long but still

Lol. Not if you got a jibby it isn’t!

LAS QUE MAS ACOSAN EN ESPAÑA. SON MUJERES NO HOMBRES. ES DATO. FIN.

Dear BBC , Give me 30000000 taka monthly.

I tried cold showers 2 years ago. Hated every shower.... stoped after 2 months. The cold is not for me. Sadly. I'm gonna take a warm shower now.

Are the safe and effective jabs good for you?🤔

I am 3🥲
