Are you a member of the Polar Bear club?

I have intentionally gone into the water in winter before (in Late January or early February), it was many years ago and I was a lot younger as well as a lot more brave or stupid I don't know which. I got curious, stripped out of my clothes and went in. It was extremely cold, uncomfortable/painful and sort of exhilarating all at the same time. I didn't stay in but about a minute (maybe two)...just a quick dip. I don't regret doing it, but I never did it again and never will especially now that I'm older and just can't take the cold like I used to.

Nope and I would never ever do that.

not officially but I have went swimming in water that had ice floating on it and everything around was covered in snow.

@SW-User first a primal scream, then ok for a few seconds, then a crisping pain creeping up the body from the extremities towards the core. at that moment I got out. I've also rolled in the snow in a bathing suit or naked a few times but that's nothing really compared to near freezing water.

No, and I never will be. I start hibernating when the temp hits 40 degrees F.
Are those the folks who jump into ice cold lakes or bays in the beginning of the year ? 🥶 I am [b]not[/b].

@bijouxbroussard Would you try it Broussard?
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@SW-User This is a good idea! 👍️

But one reason why I never would try it is because I don't know how to swim.

I've even went already to a swimming school to learn it but it didn't work out for me. 🤦‍♀️
SW-User
@Loretta78 Ohhhh. Well, I can understand that. Not safe!

Hell no but it is cool to watch them take that dip into the winter waters.
I'm not but I know a few who are as cold and bristle like as one.
SW-User
No I am not
