Cold Water Immersion When Riding Your PWC

Cold Water Immersion When Riding Your PWC: It’s not cold in the summer, so what’s the problem? Well, in Idaho, even summer water temperatures can hover around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Our body’s response to immersion into 50-degree water is something we don’t have a lot of control over.

Cold water immersion will play out in four stages:

Cold Shock Response – first 3-5 min
Cold Incapacitation – 5–30 min
Hypothermia – 30+ min
Circum-rescue Collapse – during and after rescue
