  When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog.Her body was numb(麻木的).She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.

  Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions.Now, at age 34, her goal(目标)was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.

  People go in for various kinds of physical training and winter swimming is one of them.We can have cold wind bath,icy water bath and sunbath at the same time in the open air of winter.

  When we take off our clothes and are exposed to the cold air,all parts of our body are stirred up (搅动) by the cold,making us eager to go into the water.

  We dive into the cold water and swim.We come out just when our hands and feet begin to feel numb.The only thing we think about in the cold water is how to withstand (承受住) the cold.At this moment our brain is relaxed(放松) and at rest.This improves our metabolic functions(促进新陈代谢).

  After we get dried,our pink-coloured skin is bathed in the winter sun rays.Gradually we no longer feel the cold and spring seems to be near...

  After the“three baths”of air,water and sun,we feel warm,relaxed and comfortable.
