I had a new experience yesterday with cold which might help others from making the same mistake.
It had rained, was overcast & at least 10 degrees cooler so the pool had not really warmed up (to the temperature I like). I didn't even think about it and got in. Swam a bit & promptly got out, made my way the the shower & by the time I got there my body went weak, my legs would hardly hold me up, I had to sit to finish my shower. Thank goodness the heat in the shower helped snapped we out of it but I was much more lethargic the whole day & had to nap to recover. It's shocking when this happens, like the plug was pulled & the energy drains quickly. This also happens to me when I overexert myself. So heads up newbies!
