Well, I have to write this,
as i am discovering the lure of a breathold in the cold waters at the moment.
I have always been atracted to cold water even as a child - the colder the better.
Now I sort of combine this obsession with apnea.
I do it in finnish sauna: 15 min at 100 degrees and then 10 degrees celcius pool. I stay in the pool for maybe 10-15 minutes... I never experience cold in a traditional meaning. I do not feel the body and yet it is not cold. My heartbeat goes bellow 50 and I do not feel much need to breath. Just extremly slow breathing in/out. When I hold my breath, I feel like I could do it for very long - no discomfort there, like with breatholds in the normal pool. I never hold breath for more then a couple of minutes as I do not have a budy in the sauna
but it is a marvelous experience - sort of like a trance!
