I am in the early stages of training for a long swim (11 hours) in water that will be 62-68 degrees. The water where I lived is in the mid to upper 40s right now. I'm seeking some advice on how to get myself ready to handle 11 hours in water that is around 62. I have time to acclimate (7 months until swim) , but I need some advice on how to do it.

Make your breaks "active-rests". Don't stop moving. One way to do this is to continuously tread water (eggbeater drills work best for me).
Last night I was viewing Navy Seals BUDS Training on YouTube and you could see the guys shivering in the pool for their dive training phase. Awesome. Gotta admit, that fired me up a little.
