\u201cWhat I learnt from the experience was how emotional each challenge was for me,\u201d he said. \u201cI now realise that in the same way as you embrace the cold or acknowledge the fear, you have to acknowledge your own insecurities, your worries, your problems, your issues and once you embrace them, they\u2019re easier to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n

I knew that the cold-water swimming was perfect for that as it\u2019s something I\u2019ve used intermittently. I understand the benefits of cryotherapy [cold water therapy] but I wanted to do it properly \u2013 as it\u2019s supposed to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
