What disqualifies you from plunging when you do the medical report?  I am interesting in doing it, but am curious if I would be cleared.

Disclosing anything that common sense would preclude you from doing it.  No one will stop you as long as you don't over share and keep your mouth shut.

Heart and lung conditions, would be a start.

But of course, patients lie on medical forms all the time, for various reasons, so unless your conditions are obvious or you spill the beans, no one will likely stop you, and plaintiff's lawyers might still be able to sue on behalf of your estate (e.g., negligence in allowing such an event)  if something bad happens.

Thanks.  I live in New England and have gone in the ocean (you don't acclimate, you go numb) and this summer dunked myself in a cold plunge at a thermal spa in Iceland as well as dipped my toes in the arctic ocean.  I suspect my health condition would not preclude me from doing the plunge, but was wondering if there were specific issues that would.
