For immediate relief, soak the sunburned areas in cold water (but not ice water) or with cold compresses for 15 minutes. The cold reduces swelling and wicks away heat from your skin. 2. Take a dip.

My real question is whether doing this is bad for my heart, because my heart rate is sometimes irregular.wimming is an excellent exercise for your heart, arteries, lungs and muscles. If you enjoy swimming in cold water and have been doing it for some time with no ill effects, itâs probably fine for you.
