Winter Cold Water Immersion 5.7°C 🧊 Sunrise on a Frosty Morning

This was my most beautiful cold-water immersion yet 😍 The water was 5.7°C, which is pretty cold! Although not the coldest that I’ve been in, this was the first time that I’ve submerged into water when the air temperature was freezing Thanks to the preparation & aftercare this was a wonderful, restorative experience and I feel blessed to have witnessed such a gorgeous sunrise too... in England it’s a rare thing indeed for the water to be so still and to see mist rising from the lake. I could have stared at it for days! Thank you so much for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wildbeare Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildbeare Website: https://www.wildbeare.com 💧 COLD WATER SAFETY 💧 Cold water is wonderful, but can be dangerous, or even fatal. These are a few guidelines, but always do your own research too; - Never jump in - ease yourself in slowly, to avoid shocking your body. If you shock your body, you will gasp and hyperventilate which can cause you to inhale water (drown) - Control your breathing from the start - Stay within your depth and avoid fast moving water and strong currents - Wear water shoes to protect your feet - Check that the floor is solid - Before getting in, make sure you can easily get out - Go in warm - Stay close to the edge while you check that your body can handle the drop in temperature and that you can maintain normal use of your limbs - Don't stay in too long and always come out before you start shivering - Have a towel, lots of warm clothes and a warm drink ready for when you get out - Bear in mind that your body temperature can continue to drop for quite a while after you get out - this is called 'after drop' and is the result of the cooled blood in your extremities returning to your core. Allow for this. - Don't drive until your temperature has returned to normal - Start in summer and gradually work your way up to colder water - Practice tolerance with cold showers - Don't do a cold water immersion if you have heart or other health conditions that may make it especially dangerous - Trust your instincts. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it - It's a good idea to have a spotter in case of emergency ⛺ GEAR LIST 🥾 This gear list contains affiliate links.
