I wondered about this myself.  I always thought that
thermogenesis was precisely the body's mechanism for maintaining
its internal temperature when the environment threatens to lower
it.  Since water conducts heat away from the body better than
air, a swim in a pool at 80 degrees F. should cause more
thermogenesis than a walk in the open air at the same
temperature.  The body must use more energy to maintain its
temperature.
