🐴 CHECKMATE PUTIN! 💩
I'm Canadian, so, YES. Love the cold water! There are rivers up here that are just NUTS how cold they are. Helps being used to it but you have to stay on it. When I was in Egypt I lost that ability a bit...
Extended family had a "cabin" (the thing was bigger than an average house) in Sicamous, and nobody else would go swimming, but I would jump in and find out that the lake was mostly melt and was sitting around 5°C.
Hard to do more than short bouts, but still, when you have so little access to a lake, you must take advantage.
