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?

Here in Cincinnati, we have an outdoor (heated to about 80) pool that opened third week in May. I went there on 5:30 a.m. the first day it was open. Air temp was 45 so lifeguard told me it was too cold?! So I had to swim inside.
When I was in Orlando in January, I found one of those irregular shaped Disney resort pools, that I could take a 25 yard line across (based on stroke count). Water was 82. Air was 35. Very, very nice.
Oh, that is so awesome, except for the shape of the pool - got to keep one eye on the opposite wall, lol.
