Clinical trials: Cold Water Swimming
Immersion Pulmonary Edema (IPE), Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)
Prevention and Treatment of Immersion Pulmonary Edema
Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a condition in which fluid fills the lungs during diving or swimming, particularly in cold water. Some individuals appear to be predisposed to developing IPE.

Hypothermia, Accidental, Cold Water Swimming
Core Temperature Afterdrop in Cold-water Swimming
A significant risk associated with hypothermia during exercise in a cold environment is the core temperature (T°core) afterdrop, which corresponds to a continuous fall in T°core during rewarming after hypothermia.

- Testing
- Swimming participants in the 6-hour cold water swim
- Where
- France
- Volunteers
- 15 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Temperature
Core Temperature in Open Water Wetsuited Swimming.
Swimming in cold water is intrinsically unsafe. One of the threats is a fall in core body temperature (Tcore), which adversely affects all body systems and increases the risk of death.

- Testing
- Open water wetsuited swimming.

- Norway
- Volunteers
- 36 people, healthy volunteers welcome

Hypothermia
Impact of Prolonged Cold-water Swimming on Heart Rate and Cardiac Function
A significant medical risk associated with hypothermia during exercise in a cold environment cardiac arrhythmia due to a possible autonomic conflict.
