People don't realize just how COLD water is...
only 4 months of the year are warm enough to not freeze your ass.
Unless you are in the tropics or a hot spring, all natural bodies of water are too cold.
I went scuba diving in the Caribbean, and I was actually shivering. Any water below 98.6 degrees will simply transfer the heat out of your body. It's a very good conductor. All the men from the USS Indianapolis sinking had hypothermia.
Yep. Swimming in Hawaii was always too cold for my taste.
Humans are a bit too fragile to survive any longer period of time in water..
