Some people may have seen the short version of this video, but the longer version does provide more information. I was able to post the long version on vimeo. I think the information is worth getting out. View the video here: http://vimeo.com/4534662 It demonstrates and discusses the risks of paddling in cold water in a graphic manner. it is probably preaching to the choir here, but maybe people here can give it more visibility for people who don't yet understand. If 30 minutes is too long the 10 minute version is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1xohI3B4Uc but it does not convey the why cold water is dangerous as well or give as much detail in how to survive a cold water swim.
