Hi,
We are planning an article on the "winter blues" for the Nov. / Dec. issue of SWIMMER. I've got some ideas for a way to take a fresh look at the subject, but I'd love to hear from our member swimmers who may have issues with the low light and cold temperatures of winter.
Does it affect your training? Have you found a way to beat it? (Florida and So.Cal folks, I realize this is less than applicable to you, but friends in Nebraska and New York and Alaska, or any other state with seasons, please weigh in!)
Thanks for your time and insights. Please feel free to message me privately.
Sincerely,
Laura

Slight thread hijack here... :hijack:
I also swim outdoors year-round and had trouble staying warm in the winter. Then I started wearing a neoprene cap like this one:

It makes a HUGE difference in being able to make it through a practice. I wear it under my silicone cap.
