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.
it's not that cold... and what really makes it hard is when you leave the sea and your clothes have all the water soaked up... probably adds a stone or more on to you
