Whst benefits have you personally experienced from doing this practice?
Do the plunges get less uncomfortable over time, or do you learn to deal with the discomfort better?

Personally, I love how it cheers me up, the hormesis and immune strengthening effect it has, and that it gives me that feeling of stronger connection with nature.
And did you get used to it, or it's still uncomfortable but you don't care because you know how it's gonna make you feel?
It's both, a strengthened mindset cause you know you can do this. But you also adapt to the cold. E.g. your metabolism becomes more efficient in producing heat energy and the tiny blood vessels in your skin constrict better, making it easier to retain your core body temperature.
