Hypothermia
Hypothermia is an abnormally low body temperature, often caused by prolonged exposure to cold water during open water swimming competitions or swims, especially when combined with chilly winds, pronounced fatigue for open water swimmers with a low body fat percentage. Hypothermia is medically defined when the core body temperature drops below 35ºC (95ºF). Mild hypothermia may be identified by increased shivering or vasoconstriction. Severe hypothermia includes altered cognition, unusual behavior, weakness, apathy, reduced cardiac output, and even coma.
