Comment on Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather.

Have you never been in a natural body of water in the summer?
It depends on where you live. In some places they can get reasonable with temps being around 60-80F.
Size matters too.
Even in Florida, even in tiny lakes and swamps, the water is plenty cool under the top 2’.
I grew up swimming in snow runoff so Florida doesn’t sound cold
