A beautifully crafted book… as someone who started cold water swimming this year， it was a ‘must buy’ when I saw it in the bookshop The book itself is very good but I found it offered few ‘new’ insights into the subject - there were many open questions and requests for further research。…however I does cover the science very well and i think it would be very useful for someone making their first steps into the subject。

Winter Swimming by Susanna Soberg : This book is the sine qua non of information for people wanting to learn about winter swimming， cold showers and even saunas！ Dr Soberg is most likely the world’s foremost expert on metabolism and cold exposure for health and mental health。 The science is deep but her language and translation is super easy to understand。 Winter Swimming is manual for beginners and a deep dive for veteran cold swimmers。 The pictures are luxurious and the scientific references a Winter Swimming by Susanna Soberg : This book is the sine qua non of information for people wanting to learn about winter swimming， cold showers and even saunas！ Dr Soberg is most likely the world’s foremost expert on metabolism and cold exposure for health and mental health。 The science is deep but her language and translation is super easy to understand。 Winter Swimming is manual for beginners and a deep dive for veteran cold swimmers。 The pictures are luxurious and the scientific references are abundant。 I highly， highly recommend。 I give it 5 snowflakes ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ 。。。more

A great book for everyone。 If you want to enhance your health （even if you think you're healthy） and improve quality of life this book is for you。 That is to say this book should be for everyone。It's short and keeps the science to the essentials。 It doesn't have pages and pages of scientific jargon。 The science that is there is incredibly fascinating， and it is peppered with stories from first-time winter swimmers。Its not just about swimming， it's about the effect of cold on our body including i A great book for everyone。 If you want to enhance your health （even if you think you're healthy） and improve quality of life this book is for you。 That is to say this book should be for everyone。It's short and keeps the science to the essentials。 It doesn't have pages and pages of scientific jargon。 The science that is there is incredibly fascinating， and it is peppered with stories from first-time winter swimmers。Its not just about swimming， it's about the effect of cold on our body including if you just take a cold shower。 It also talks about the science of saunas。 。。。more

I was super excited to start this book。 I follow Susanna on Twitter。 So I was thinking she’d be the more accessible， less extreme Wim Hof of the cold water swimming world。 However， the American version of this book doesn’t come out til the end of January 2023… well into Winter Swimming season。 But the British version came out at the end of September。 So I found a British bookseller that ships international to get this book！ And I followed my tracking information for the exact moment to get this I was super excited to start this book。 I follow Susanna on Twitter。 So I was thinking she’d be the more accessible， less extreme Wim Hof of the cold water swimming world。 However， the American version of this book doesn’t come out til the end of January 2023… well into Winter Swimming season。 But the British version came out at the end of September。 So I found a British bookseller that ships international to get this book！ And I followed my tracking information for the exact moment to get this book！ I was that excited。The book is filled with beautiful colored photos of what she describes as people around the world doing cold water swimming。 Yeah， it was limited to the cold sections of Europe… Russia， England， Nordic Countries， Germany， the Baltics and Croatia。 No photos from North or South America， Africa， or Australia。 She did talk about cold swimmers in China and Japan tho and had a few photos。。 Hopefully she will talk more about North America in her American edition。Also， she had a section on swimming naked。 I have to wonder if that will be nixed for American readers。 The author studied for her Ph。D， the role of brown fat， metabolism and winter swimming。 So while I was looking for a how to， brown fat kept coming up。 She would also talk about other benefits to winter swimming… mental health， inflammation， fitness with the caveat that it’s inconclusive。 Um， I just read The book on wild swimming called Chill that showed it wasn’t so inconclusive。So while I was excited for this book， it didn’t meet my expectations。 But I do think I want to buy the American edition next to see how the book differs。 。。。more
