Not to be picky about a point, but I was wondering - isn't the tropical
Pacific water warm all year round?
>I seem to remember reading that island people in
the tropical Pacific also have a layer of body fat to insulate
them..........do we have any other swimmers here who have
experience with this?<
I do recall reading maybe an Olympics ago about the phenomenon you mention.
It's enough to make me turn up the hot water heater! :)
I wonder if a study of cetaceans would yield any other interesting points?
