I mean when weather temperature is 11 to 20'C (51.8 to 68'F). and you are using water stored in concrete tanks
I have heard from few people who are in army and they say we dont use warm water to take bath even in winters. to me it was a extremely brave task. so i tried when temperature was 16C(60.8F) and it hurt a lot initially but afterwards it gets not very hurting.
i want to know at what temperature water can become dangerous to take bath
and what are the possible negative effects of extreme cold waters
and how can we train our self to take cold water bath
i did a lot of warmup first to enter in to that punishing shower of steel, but then i became very hot and didnt shiver at all after bath which i do after hot baths

Well taking an extremely cold bath can lead to hypothermia but even if you shiver that dosen't mean your body tempertaure has gone down. When you take a warm bath your body has gotten used to the temperature of the bath so when you get out the room is not at the same temperature as the bath so you shiver. I honestly don't know if it is possible to train for a cold bath. Cold waters can be harmful at any temperature if it gets cold enough.

When I was a child, I had a neighbour who was an old woman and who always took her cold showers. She said she never got sick due to those showers. She was living in such conditions of temoeratures as 11-20'C.
I can't guarantee it is safe for you too. I knew a mother who used to give her baby cold milk from the fridge, while other babies had the diarrhea from it.
Different persons react differently.
