The high salt content in the water causes what's known as "Freezing point depression". So the water will freeze at much lower temperatures than pure water. Additionally, when salt water does freeze (arctic regions), only the water is freezing and makes pure ice. The salt is not frozen into the ice, rather it is excluded.
It has nothing to do with the movement of water or air currents above the water. This may increase or decrease the transfer of heat to or from the water, but it doesn't affect the temperature at which it will freeze.

The constant flow of different air currents over the surface as well as the constant sea currents below the surface. If the ocean were a still body of water, it would freeze in places, but because it is constantly in movement the only places that freeze are the coldest places on the planet, the poles. Hope this helps.

Large bodies of water along with tides make it hard for water to freeze. But the salt in the water is the main factor.
But obviously the poles do freeze; significantly below freezing though.

Salt. It gives the water a much lower freezing temperature. In addition, the current, and the jetstream play a role.

Lots of factors
1) constant waves both low n high tide
2) high salinity
3) Solar effect
4) Human effect like ships , boats etc
5) Marine life i.e Flora n Fauna
6) other climatic phenomenon like Hurricane , etc

Nothing really. When you submerge in water, your body being warm gets shocked with the new and cooler temperature that causes the effect of "freezing".
Other than that, cooler water are more denser that is why they are in the bottom while warm water are in the surface. So, no actual cooling is going on.

salt, but it doesn't keep it from freezing it just lowers the freezing point from 32 degrees to much lower temperature depending on the salt content

It can and it does. Look at the poles. Iceflows. It just does so at a much lower temperature than pure water.

oceans includs very salts and this affects thier freezing point . meanwile the movement of water produce heat.
