I'm wondering if it's especially dangerous to your heart to have one of those energy rocket shots before swimming in icy cold water (less than 60 degrees)? I have to pass a rigerous swim test in very cold water and was wondering if that would improve my stamina. Thanks.Serious answers only please. I would really like to know.

YES, it is very dangerous in actuality. Just drinking that shit is, alone. These energy boosters, like caffeine, give you a short high and the come down makes you even more tired. Your heart can only take so much jolting. Avoid them. Water is all you need. To improve stamina, stay away from anything not natural..... They are bad !!!

Hi leaner. I wouldn't suggest it. The shock of the cold water will give you an adrenalin rush and caffeine to boot doesn't sound good. If you have a couple hours before, then I would think that it would be OK for a cup of coffee or tea. Those sports drinks have alot more caffeine that might shock your system when you hit that cold water.
