2016, Medical HypothesesCitation Excerpt :Something about swimming, in contrast to comparably demanding exercise, makes a fatal outcome more likely for such individuals. According to the hypothesis advanced in this communication, the mammalian dive reflex [6,7] and/or the cold shock reflex [7] are almost certainly involved in this inherent risk. The cold shock reflex may be particularly important in the autonomic conflict associated with sudden death during open water competitive swimming [8].
