Water Aerobics: Water is a great medium for exercise, as it supports your body and cushions your muscles and joints. Even if you canât swim, you can participate in aqua aerobics. Just wear a flotation device or buoyancy belt in the water if your swimming skills arenât up to par.
Hypothermia occurs when the body gets cold and loses heat faster than the body can make it. A normal rectal body temperature ranges from 97.5Â°F (36.4Â°C) to 99.7Â°F (37.6Â°C) and for most people is 98.6Â°F (37Â°C) by mouth and 99.7Â°F (37.6Â°C) rectally. Hypothermia is more likely to occur when you are exposed to cold air, water, wind, or rain.
How cold does the water have to be to put a person at risk for hypothermia? Even water temperatures as high as 75 and 80 degrees F (24 and 27 degrees C) can be dangerous, but it would most likely take much longer than 15 minutes to become debilitated.There is no set time for when hypothermia will set in, but generally the colder the water, the faster it happens.ven water temperatures as high as 75 and 80 degrees F (24 and 27 degrees C) can be dangerous, but it would most likely take much longer than 15 minutes to become debilitated.
