I'm not exactly a stranger to swimming in cold water - a lake with ice on it? done it. Lake during heavy snow fall? done it. But that guy has my respect.
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so that water could be sub-zero in temperature. Added to that, water conducts heat away from your body a lot lot faster than just air. I'm used to going in with kit that will hopefully keep me protected. I don't exactly plan to hang around in those conditions when i go in them. Going in with just speedos? think i'll stay at home that day. Just think of standing outside at freezing for an hour in your speedos - that should give u an idea how cold he got.

wtf, i like the way the preparation for him getting out at the other end is one bird with a blanket that she probably nicked off her granny. you'd think a space blanket or ten would be order of the day!
