I HATE jumping into a cold pool; sure, call me a whimp, but anyway ... Does anyone have suggestions to combat this? I seem to recall that English Channel swimmers used to coat themselves with something (Vaseline?) to protect themselves from the extreme conditions of the channel. Is there a strategy that someone could share with me? Do body suits help?
Thanks for the advice. You can email me direct with an answer if you want at PeoriaBums@aol.com.

And, huh, the office and the restrooms are under construction (delays) right now, so no warm place to dry off, shower and change.
If we took the construction superintendent, dress him in speedo's, soaked him wet and made him run around the deck barefoot for an hour in 40 degree weather, and then sent him driving home soaking wet... I wonder if that would help the construction delays any??? ;)
Or maybe that woud fall under the cruel and unusual punishment clause?
Yes, it does sound like cruel and unusual punishment, but no warm place to dry off and no warm shower and driving home in a wet bathing suit (it does take a while for a car heater to kick in) sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me! Makes me appreciate what I have. :-)
