 Hi, I'm Janet Stringer and I'm a constable with the Vancouver Police Marine Unit. Today I'm going to talk to you about the effects of cold water. Even if you think you are a strong swimmer, cold water can still affect your ability to swim. Cold incapacitation occurs within 2 to 30 minutes of submersion in cold water. It impairs physical performance and leads to an inability to self-help, swimming failure and drowning. Sea temperatures in English Bay range from an average of 6 degrees in the winter to 11 degrees in the summer, and these temperatures are well within the definition of cold water. This is another good reason to wear your PFD on a paddle board at all times. And finally, no matter what you're doing on the water, have fun and be safe. Hey Andrew, can I give you a hand? Yes please.
