Lake temperature, a practitioner on the bank, and ninety seconds
The plunge is the lake itself for most of the year, and a controlled tub when the lake is under ice. Someone is always on the bank with you.
The first thirty seconds are the whole negotiation. Your breath wants to go fast and shallow, and the practitioner's job is to talk you into keeping it slow and low instead. Once you have done that once, you own it, and it transfers to a great deal more than cold water.
Ninety seconds is plenty. Longer is not better and we will not push you there. What you are training is the response, not the endurance.

Someone is on the bank with you for every second, counting out loud, and the session ends the moment you say so rather than at a target you agreed to beforehand.
