I don't know how I will take to this 'dunking', but I do have a high tolerance for cold. I run around down here in January (20 degrees F or so) in shorts, t-shirt and no shoes - OUTSIDE. But being dipped in an icy lake might be a bit much. But I'll try anything once. I'm very bold and daring (in case you haven't noticed).

It’s not really the water temp that is the problem but the wind chill and air temp once you get out. Hypothermia shouldn’t be a problem since you will skip that state and go straight to “Georgia Popsicle.”
