Often in video games (and occasionally other works of fiction as well), there is no difference between swimming off the coast of Florida and swimming off the coast of Antarctica. Water is water, and the only hazard it ever presents is drowning (if even that). So you can spend all day swimming right outside Santa's workshop on the North Pole and be no worse for wear. In real life, this is of course a good way to get hypothermia. Water that is just above freezing will sap the heat from your body much faster than air of the same temperature. Extremely cold water, such as near the poles, can even stop your heart. Some children's cartoons and games will acknowledge the dangers of frigid waters by having a character who falls into them be encased in a rectangular block of ice, but this doesn't seem to actually hurt them. These examples are for when a character takes a dip in freezing waters and doesn't suffer any effects whatsoever. Sub-trope of Exposed to the Elements, and closely related to Harmless Freezing. Thermal Dissonance may also be at play here. Compare the polar opposite, Convection, Schmonvection. Contrast Danger — Thin Ice, Braving the Blizzard, Freeze Sneeze and Catch Your Death of Cold, wherein being exposed to the cold does have consequences. |

Subnautica: Below Zero: In an arctic environment, Robin must maintain body heat or die of hypothermia. In air you are at risk of freezing in minutes, but the easiest way to escape the danger is to hop in the ocean. As long as you keep swimming, body temperature will not drop. | |

In Tales of the Hunger Games, Maxima Liu (Victor of the 79th Hunger Games) quickly recovers after spending five minutes submerged in a water tank whose temperature is zero degrees celsius (32 F) as part of her training assessment. She also quickly recovers from her fall into the icy waters during final battle with her district partner and lover Saracen, where she manages to drown him by preventing him from escaping her grasp. Justified because she has a background in pain resistance from the training academy, where it's said that she can survive inhospitable settings without injury or harm. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Averted. Ordinary water is only a minor hazard, at most removing one unit of Link's health if his stamina runs out while swimming, and it even breaks a fall harmlessly, but water in cold environments steadily saps his health to the point of death, even with protective clothing. | |

In Titanic (1997), Rose goes into the lower decks to rescue Jack. The water that Rose and Jack traverse would have been as cold as the water outside of the ship. They are not nearly as affected by the cold water as anyone would have been in real life. Just going on deck in wet clothes would have been debilitating. | |

Axiom Verge 2: The protagonist swims in an Antarctic pool at the beginning of the game. Aside from briefly complaining at the temperature, she suffers no ill effects from the cold. Although she does drown about a minute later, so maybe she just didn't have time to freeze to death. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The Dragonborn suffers no harm from swimming in the icy northern oceans. While this may be justified in the case of Nords, who have a 50% racial resistance to cold damage, the other Player Character races have no such excuse. The popular Frostfall Game Mod averts this, as getting into cold water, especially in the northern regions, is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal, depending on the mod's settings. At best it hits you with serious penalties to speed and skills, and by default it renders you unconscious in a matter of minutes, even if you get out of the water quickly. | |

Jurassic World Dominion features a scene where Owen and Kayla run away from a Pyroraptor across a snowy dam. Not only does Owen fall through the ice and emerge out of it with no ill effects whatsoever, but the Pyroraptor also swims through the icy water without being affected by the freezing temperatures as its feathering is more based on a hawk instead of a bird that would be more adapted to swimming in cold water like a penguin. | |

The Sims has a justified example when it comes to pool water, as it's outright stated to be heated in cold weather. The Sims 3, which has swimmable bodies of water, zigzags it as going in the water itself does no harm but stripping down to do so in cold weather will probably lower your body temperature, which could have negative effects. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Played straight in most games, with a few notable exceptions. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Link can spend all day swimming in the waters of Zora's Fountain after it gets frozen over. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: The Temple of Droplets is an icy dungeon that has pools of water Link can swim in safely. In fact, Link has to shrink to enter that dungeon, so he should be freezing even more quickly than he would at normal size. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Averted. Ordinary water is only a minor hazard, at most removing one unit of Link's health if his stamina runs out while swimming, and it even breaks a fall harmlessly, but water in cold environments steadily saps his health to the point of death, even with protective clothing. |

Averted in Banjo-Kazooie. Unless turned into a walrus, the frigid water of Freezeezy Peak (which is luckily more often than not knee-deep) will harm Banjo and Kazooie, costing them a unit of energy for every five seconds or so they remain on it. Downplayed in the Winter section of "Click Clock Wood". The icy water surrounding the tree doesn't do the same damage as "Freezeezy Peak", but it affects the Oxygen Meter even when swimming on top, like the oily water of "Rusty Bucket Bay". |

In Sonic Adventure, Big the Cat's second stage is Ice Cap, which requires him to break through the ice in order to fish in its waters and catch Froggy, his pet frog. The fish living inside the water as well as Froggy are perfectly fine swimming inside it, and the only thing Big has to fear is drowning, especially if he didn't collect the Life Belt upgrade which allows him to swim before entering the stage. In the B and A Rank missions, Big has to swim through the secret passage under the water to get to a room where bigger fish required to complete the missions are stored. | |

In EverQuest, the snow-filled Barbarian city of Halas is separated from Everfrost Peaks by a lake. The only way to get into or out of the city is to cross the lake. There is a raft that automatically sends players back and forth, but most players just choose to jump in and start swimming instead of waiting for the delay in the raft. Barbarian characters start off almost completely naked save for a kilt (and matching top for women), yet suffer no ill effects from diving right in. | |

The fish living inside the water as well as Froggy are perfectly fine swimming inside it, and the only thing Big has to fear is drowning, especially if he didn't collect the Life Belt upgrade which allows him to swim before entering the stage. In the B and A Rank missions, Big has to swim through the secret passage under the water to get to a room where bigger fish required to complete the missions are stored. Sonic Advance Trilogy: Played straight with Ice Mountain Zone and Twinkle Snow, respectively in the first and third games, which are both half-underwater and allow to swim freely in the icy water. |

Endless Ocean: Two of the dive locations of Blue World are the Arctic and the Antarctic. There is a handwave about body gel that helps with cold weather, and special air tanks or something, but no mention of a dry suit. Considering the character's costume can be changed to a bikini (for women) or just a pair of trunks (for men), you can very well go diving in those places thusly garbed and suffer no ill effects. | |

Super Mario Odyssey is another aversion as the Snow Kingdom's water will cause rapid health drop unless Mario captures one of the Cheep-Cheeps. | |

In Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the final piece of the MacGuffin is in Siberia. Lara shows up in a shirt and pants that aren't much heavier or cover her any more than what she wore in Cambodia, and even takes a swim in an underground pool of water to no ill effect. | |

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: You can swim in the ocean even when it's winter in your hemisphere and the snow on the ground indicates that the water must be cold. You wear a wet suit, but, generally, dry suits are needed for colder water, and one of the suit options has shorts on the bottom while others are sleeveless. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: The Temple of Droplets is an icy dungeon that has pools of water Link can swim in safely. In fact, Link has to shrink to enter that dungeon, so he should be freezing even more quickly than he would at normal size. | |

In GURPS, enough levels of Temperature Tolerance (Cold) make you effectively immune to hypothermia. Normal humans can get at best two levels there, which, if your character is decently fit, is enough to be just fine up to 11°F/-11°C. All bets are off if your character is not quite normal. | |

ABZÛ: The final sequence takes place in the Arctic ocean, complete with drifting ice, penguins and polar bears. The protagonist is not deterred by the temperatures in the slightest, though this is justified as she is actually a humanoid robot with superhuman resilience. | |

In EverQuest II, the continent of Everfrost's zone-in point places you on a large dock attached to an island that is separated from the rest of the continent. Before the ability to fly was put into the game, players had no choice but to jump into the shark-infested waters and swim to land. The local explorers complain about the cold to no end, but swimming around doesn't affect adventurers except for the occasional shark attack. | |

Metroid: Played straight for the most part throughout the series, where Samus suffers no ill effects from walking in water in icy locations (minus the gravitational effects) even with the most basic power suit on. Averted somewhat with the Fusion Suit, as Samus will take damage from merely being in cold areas until she acquires the Varia Suit. | |

Ghost Ship ends with Epps, the Sole Survivor of the salvage crew, clinging to debris in the Bering Sea, which has an average temperature of 34-41 F. It's not specified how much time she spends adrift before a passing cruise ship picks her up, but realistically she would only have survived for two hours. | |

Averted in Terraria's Expert and Master modes, where entering water in the snow biome will inflict the Chilled debuff (slows movement speed) unless they have an accessory that makes them immune to it equipped. Otherwise, it's played straight on other modes. | |
