Special Considerations

If you swim, exercise extreme caution and do not linger in cold water because of the danger of hypothermia. Extended exposure to cold water can lower body temperature to dangerous and even fatal levels. To learn more about early symptoms and treatment of hypothermia, ask a ranger.
