My coach used to get us out in the north sea. I haven't done it for a while... I've never learned to swim (meant to be this week! :P) and went under a massive wave the last time! :P
I can understand swimming in ice after a training session but not as a training session.

to make swimming a substitute for running your technique better to up to scratch to make it worthwhile. I liked using swim sprints to get me out of breath.
Muscles heat, u start sweating, lactic acid is released and u get tired and cramped.
Put the body in something cold (avoiding the muscles seizing,) You can work ur body at maximum capacity with less lactic acid released, but the heart working harder. Great Cardio.
I THINK.
