Swim briefs at NYC New Year Day Coney Island Plunge
 

Came across this report. I think swim briefs are reasonably represented.

Cold Shock
 

A lot of them seem to have the round mouthed cold shock look.
Cold shock paralyses and kills as you go into cold water, if you are underwater you will suck in large amount of cold water and drown.
If you have to go into cold water keep your head up until you have acclimatised and can breathe normally.
A good life jacket or vest will roll you onto your back with you head up, you might cough and splutter but you will survive, be a pussy, wear a life jacket on a small boat or if you intend to swim alone in cold water.

WARNING
Do not rinse in very cold water
Some shrinkage may occur

Cold speedos
 

Nice to see number of speedos represented. Could it be more men will wear them?

Maybe, but the less you wear when going in cold water the less cold you will be afterward because it is easier to dry skin than cloth. Perhaps some men that would not normally wear speedos in public do so there for that reason.

Less is best at any time!
