Hei Hive account@nrg the water was a tad warmer already to our surprise, around 5-6 degrees and I was in the water for more than 5 minutes and my fingers didn't feel any pain (I still use gloves at the temperatures). Compared to the near-zero degrees water, where my fingers wanted to explode after a minute or two.

Perfect time to pick up cold-water swimming my friend 😃
