Swim Tips: Managing Immersion Shock through Cold Water Priming – Part 1

Here’s our inaugural swim tips video. The idea for doing this came to me while I was shoveling snow all day on Tuesday!

All humor aside, this is a great way to manage immersion shock prior to swimming in colder water temperatures. Obviously, you need access to snow. But for those of you who don’t have the luxury of snow storms, I’ll be producing a separate video on an equally effective priming technique – the progressive cold shower. So stay tuned!

    YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST LAID DOWN AND LET ANN SHOVEL A FEW FEET OF SNOW ON YOU AND WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE DIGGING OUT ! IT’S BOTH COOL AND REFRESHING
