I am in the early stages of training for a long swim (11 hours) in water that will be 62-68 degrees. The water where I lived is in the mid to upper 40s right now. I'm seeking some advice on how to get myself ready to handle 11 hours in water that is around 62. I have time to acclimate (7 months until swim) , but I need some advice on how to do it.
Keep your body well fueled
Stay warm before the swim
Get warm after the swim
Swim fast, the more energy you exert the more calories your body burns and the warmer you stay.
