I suppose one can adapt (like Freedivers can extend their bottom time and depths for ages) to such a cold extreme. His skin has probably thickened and any fat is stored under the skin after so many years doing it.
Seeing locals at Wanaka, Te Anau, etc swimming in just shorts. I tried my luck but I didn't last long - I guess it takes time.

Victorians don't do cold water unless in Drysuits.


Craig Foster recons after a while you crave the cold water.

About 10 years ago in Sydney the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekman_transport went bezerk and the water dropped to about 11c in mid December.

I'd watch people jump in then run out like a scalded cat. The best I managed was about a 100m swim and I started to have an out of body expirence. I've just never had to deal with cold water much.

So much respect for Foster.

That doesn't sound right.
