*grins* I hear you there. I was trying to decide how long it would take a TL to freeze in icy water as opposed to a human being, and here we are. I am lame.
Like hypothermia freeze? Doesn't take long for a human, I know. Seems like every heat wave, you've got people jumping into the Pacific, only to get hypothermia in the middle of 90 degree weather. (Keeps the Coast Guard employed, I guess.) My chair races sailboats, and I'm pretty sure they have to wear wetsuits/drysuits all year.
If a Time Lord is at 15-16C, I'd guess they'd be able to survive a lot longer in cold water? The Doctor didn't seem to mind cold weather the times he's been in it. (I seem to recall that Gallifrey is colder and dryer than Earth.)

Here's water temperatures for the Pacific out here: http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/npac.html
