homework and exercises - How to calculate impulse force of body hitting water?


I'm calculating the force of a body hitting water from a high height. So far I've figured out the velocity at the time of collisions would be 40 m/s. The body is 78 kg. I seem to need the time it takes for it to accelerate to a stop after hitting the water but I can't find any concrete numbers for that, what would be a good estimation?
