Apart from being what most would call "good looking" this lady managed to swim naked  in sub zero water for over 10 minutes.

From what we were taught in survival school for the arctic, 10 minutes in sub-zero water is certain death, get into your raft immediately (and make sure you don't puncture the raft with your parachute harness! OBTW the 10 minutes was with "normal" breathing (whatever can be described as normal in sub zero weather), and she does this WITHOUT breathing! Amazing!

acclimatization is an obvious factor, 10 minutes sounds like a minimum factor for the weakest(unconditioned) humans
At 46... not bad, not bad at allllll

Women tend to have more subcutaneous fat than men, so they are better insulated.

WOW !!!
...You know,...I get a headache if I drink a milkshake too fast.
Ten minutes in freezing water,...I'd be unconscious,...and, if I survived,...I'd never be able to program in assembly again.
