The length of time a human can stay in cold water varies based on several factors, including water temperature, individual body composition, and acclimatization. In water temperatures around 50°F (10°C), a person might experience hypothermia within an hour, while at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), unconsciousness can occur in just a few minutes. Generally, survival time ranges from a few minutes to several hours, depending on these conditions. Proper clothing and movement can extend survival time, but risks increase significantly in colder waters.
