I must be getting old, I have only entered my outdoor lap pool once since it opened on Memorial Day weekend. The water was 74, but the air temp was 80. Nights have dipped into the 40's and this morning, I planned to give it a try, however, it was 64 degrees and very windy, cloudy and the water temp was only 70. I should mention that no one was in the pool either. Every summer I run maniacly to the sports stores in hopes of finding a wetsuit that feels NOTHING like a wetsuit and come home empty handed.
So, who's swimming outdoors now, with or without a wetsuit, and what are your water temps?

Our outdoor pool opened 3 weeks ago. The pool is heated by a geothermal system and water temps are in the high 70's to low 80's. In the morning when I workout the air temps are in the 40's. I'll swim outside every day until the pool closes at the end of September.
Mine is not heated, and lap swim is only in the morning so it is cold IMO, with wind and air temps in the mid 60's or low 70's. But too warm for a wetsuit. So I will wear two suits and two caps and just do it. but I'll be pushing hard to keep blood circulating!:bliss:
