Does anybody know details such as the water temp and whether he was wearing a wetsuit\what kind?
water temp was about 63-65. I actually don't remember if he was wearing one. he was covered up quickly with blankets. how old are you ? if you are worried about cardiac issues its pretty cheap and quick to go get a basic CKG or even more sophisticated testing. just might save your life.
