A study Shows a pretty insignificant amount of extra calories burned, and an increased appetite at the same time. I think ots mostly a myth.
A study performed at the University of Florida showed slightly more calories are burned in cold water exercise than in warm. In the study, men who exercised for 45 minutes in 68 degree water burned an average of 517 calories. The men who exercised in 91.4 degree water burned 505 calories, on average.
“We found that during the recovery period when the subjects had access to an assortment of foods that significantly more calories were eaten after exercise in cold water compared to exercise in warm water or at rest,” White said.

Right, but those are both people in water.
My sense has been that being in water, below body temperature, is more important than water temperature.

One was 68 degrees one was 91 degrees. It was a very minimal difference, and the 68, Is definitely below body temperature.

Yes, but I don't think the temperature had much to do with it. And they were exercising, not just sitting around.

What I want to find is a decomposition of calories burned from exercise and calories burned from heat loss.
That’s what I recall seeing, but I didn’t find it quickly when I looked earlier.
