I would be careful in a way if you have heart/stroke issues. I know jumping into cold water brings on the whole fight or flight response of the body. Your heart rate will skyrocket if TOTALLY immersed in water much colder than you. People who have gone white water rafting and fallen in have had heart attacks from the temperature difference. I guess your reaction will depend on the exact temperature and the duration.
