Generally, water is good for the health.  Cold water can be soothing on a very hot day but there are also potential negative effects, especially when exposure to cold water is excessive or prolonged.

Below are five possible adverse effects:

1. Vasoconstriction:

Cold water can cause vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels. This can temporarily reduce blood flow to certain areas of the body, potentially impacting circulation.

2. Hypothermia:

Prolonged exposure to very cold water can lead to hypothermia, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it. Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, confusion, slowed heart rate, and loss of coordination. Severe cases can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.

3. Increased risk of heart problems:

Cold water immersion can place stress on the cardiovascular system. Sudden exposure to cold water can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure and heart rate. For individuals with pre-existing heart conditions, this can potentially trigger cardiac events such as heart attacks, arrhythmias, or angina (chest pain).

4. Respiratory issues:

Inhalation of very cold water or exposure to cold water on the chest can cause the airways to constrict, leading to difficulty breathing. This response is known as a cold-induced bronchospasm and can be particularly problematic for individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.

5. Shock and stress response:

The sudden exposure to cold water can induce a shock response in the body, leading to an increase in stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. This can result in heightened anxiety, increased blood pressure, and a temporary suppression of the immune system.
