Thumbs up or down for winter swimming?

So it seems from this study that there are physiological benefits from freezing our extremities off, in addition to the obvious psychological boost enjoyed. Pity these are somewhat negated by frequent observation of coliforms by the vico marine fauna department! (cf: previous post)

I see the study is from From the Herzog-Julius Hospital, Bad Harzburg.
"Bad Harz" - that sounds ominous.
