swimming.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I've enjoyed cold water swimming as a way of staying healthy during prolonged times on small cruise ships in Alaska and week-long voyages along the Columbia and Snake Rivers.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I've also been fortunate to live and have property adjacent to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a calm body of water (for the most part)
