Full body wet suits might be your best bet to keep you warm and dry but the basics for any swimmer is a good quality swimming cap. Swim caps, preferably silicone ones do more than just keep your head dry, they also prevent loss of heat through your head. Ear-plugs have been known to prevent ear infections and keep your core temperature up.

 

  1. Inside the pool

You can either dive in or get into the pool gradually though the latter is advisable to those not used to the cold. However, gradual swimming and a few warm up laps will get you at ease in no time. While you are inside blow bubbles by submerging yourself, this will stabilise breathing and prevent shock.

 

  1. Getting out

The sudden rush of adrenaline as you leave the pool will get you warm but make sure you either quickly pat down with your towel or get under a warm shower to prevent shivering, and keep your head and feet covered and warm after a swim. You lose a lot of heat from these two places.

  1. Build a routine
