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?

it had to be in the high 60s. When I got it, it was brutal, but after a while, it was fine today anyway.
That's pretty cold. What was the air temp? If it's 80 or above, I guess I could handle it, but temps below 75 make my muscles sluggish. I am recovering from an inner ear virus and the cold water also makes me really dizzy--bummer--if not for that, I'd be in there now. It's been raining all week, and in the 50's at night, so temp is probably in 60's now.
