I took a cold swim for charity a couple of weeks ago! This was the first time that I have ever done anything like this and it was truly crazy! I didn’t know that I ever signed up to do it. I never do things that take me out of my comfort zone and so most people were surprised whenever I agreed to do it. There were a whole bunch of weird people from my job signing up for it, so I decided that I might as well just go ahead and provide my attempt. It’s still definitely cold around here and the weather is not supposed to start heating up for another month or so; my associate and I still have ice and snow on the ground in most locales, and so when I say that the water in the lake was cold cold, I am not lying! The week before the cold swim event, the heating system stopped toiling in my car. I was just going to try to do it without a heater in the automobile for a while, but then my friend who has done the cold swim event before told me that it wasn’t a good idea to do that… He told me that I was absolutely going to want a toiling heating system in the automobile after the cold swim! He said that he just leaves his truck running with the heating system on full blast when he jumps in the lake every year. He told me that this was the only good way to do it. I figured that he was right and that I would be sorry if I had to drive the household cold and soaking wet without a heating system, so I finally went to get it fixed.
