Eli5: Can you become resistant to cold and hot weather at the same time? Or would a higher tolerance of one of the two automatically make your body more susceptible to the other?

Acclimatization to hot or cold temperatures is a real and proven phenomenon, but it doesn’t work two ways at the same time. Swimmers who specialize in cold water, such as those who swim the English Channel, acclimate by not only swimming in icy water several times a week but also living in cold houses and generally avoiding any warmth.
