Antarctic water. " Paul Montgomery

Hi Paul,

The answer is somewhat tedious. I'll work ot it in a few days. The 
short answer is that the swimmer lady trained by swimming some 
miles every day in cold water. None-the-less, the effects of cold 
water immersion on her were not changed much, but she learned 
how to deal with those effects. It is an interesting story, but it holds 
no hope for an easy fix for paddlers that do cold water paddling.
