There is a prof at the University of Manitoba that studies cold water immersion. He was featured in OUTSIDE magazine (I think last month) - the article was "Meet Professor Popsicle" - see link to partial info below. http://outsideonline.com/outside/features/200212/200212_popsicle_splash.html His official homepage is at: http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/physed/research/people/giesbrecht.shtml He is apparently unique in that on a fairly routine basis he subjects himself to experimental conditions -lowering his body temp below 95 degrees. Might be a good resource person - maybe someone could drop him an email regarding the current Paddlewise discussion....someone more versed in cold water paddling than I.
