Deciding what to wear and knowing when to get out are key questions for outdoor swimmers. I swim with Dr Heather Massey, senior lecturer and researcher in the Extreme Environments Laboratory at Portsmouth University, to talk about the effect of cold water on our bodies. We discuss what happens to the body when we enter cold water, cold shock, what to wear, hypothermia signs and symptoms, swim failure, how to have a safe swim, fitness swimming outdoors, shivering and rewarming.
