Cold water first place it effects is the head which seems to knock the wind out of you.
Then the hands go rigid.
Then the feet start to have no feeling.

Did you swim the Channel?
I seem to remember (waaaaaaay back when Abou heif and Co were doing it) that they used to coat their bodies with grease as a means to fight the cold. Do you recall? Did you do it?
