With the bay bridge swim around the corner and water temps not looking to be greater than 65 degrees I am wondering what advice you guys have for surviving the cold.
How long do you think someone can last in 65 degree water with a wetsuit?

Well-I went to the outdoor pool and swam 1800 meters at 68 degrees. Oh my was that cold. First time swimming meters and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't hit my lap times(which were in a yard pool). At the end of these laps I asked and the guard said it is a meter pool. I thought it was the cold but I survived but now I can't get warm. After doing the math I figured I was hitting my 54 second 50 yard pace right on. BRRRRRRRRRRR though. I will be in a wet suit next week.
