That's actually quite helpful, because I know the water here in central Florida still gets quite cold in the winter despite the mild weather. Being along the pacific...that actually makes sense.

It was a nod to a tradition in my city where the teenage Greek orthodox boys throw themselves into the local bayou every January to commemorate the baptism of Jesus, but my thought was to make it a more secular test of strength and toughness in game-- sort of like a way to prove your dedication to your commitments and to honor the Polar Bear King. Knowing that you'd actually need wetsuits because lol, pacific ocean, makes that idea more legit.

Thanks!
