    Volunteers experience the 3 effects of cold water immersion – cold shock, cold incapacitation & hypothermia. Learn how to survive a fall into cold water. When a person is immersed in cold water without a life jacket on, there are limits to how long a person can keep themselves afloat – regardless of what swimming (or floating) technique is used.

    Melanie Olhaus secured a date with Chad Le Clos after bunking off school earlier this year to greet the South African Olympic team as they returned home. At the airport, Melanie, 17, held up a sign asking ‘Chad will you be my matric dance date?’ And, after spotting the sign, the 20-year-old swimmer agreed. Awesome.
