This was the 3rd Annual New Year's Day Polar Bear Swim at Jen's house, but our first time participating. Jen is fortunate to have both an in-ground swimming pool (very rare in Seattle) AND a sauna in the basement. We sat in the sauna until it was 160 degrees, then jumped in the 30something degree water. Best of all, my 5 year old jumped in too! I've never felt a sensation quite like this before. It wasn't entirely pleasant, but at the same time, it felt really great to get out of the water and back into the sauna.
