Jumping in instead of wading in and cold water shock

I've been sea swimming for a year and I find it way easier to just jump in instead of walking in but I've been reading about cold water shock and lots of people saying there's a risk of heart attack by jumping into cold water. How much of a risk is it for someone in their 20s?
