What made you want to do this? Exercise?

  No, not exercise. It was just refreshing in august. Then for some time there was no reason to stop. Like "it's one degree less than last week. Why should I stop now?". At some point I just wanted to know if I could keep on doing it throughout the winter. When it was 4° I wasn't in the water for longer than 30 seconds. Just a few swim strokes, a dunk the head and out again. And it feels really good right after. A little bit like right after sauna.
