After a horrid heat wave, our weather in NJ is now in the 60's, rainy, cloudy and miserable. The outdoor pool I swim in is 68 degrees! I don't own a wetsuit. Any advice on swimming outside in this cold water? I usually swim 4000 yards so by about 1000 yards, my bones and muscles start to chill. I do prefer cooler water temps - in the mid 70's, but this is tough, since the air temp is so cool. The air temperature is supposed to go up to 90 in two days, which should raise water to about 70-72. Thanks for any advice!

I'm feeling quite lucky! Our outdoor 50 m pool is heated so it isn't too bad though did get cold with the cool days last weekend/early this week. Our Y also has 2 indoor pools open during the summer. One is kept cool for lap swimming and the other is at about 86 degrees for the blue haired ladies! So, its pretty much the best of all worlds. Definitely feeling quite lucky.
