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.

dont do much open water myself...gonna change that....but my daughter has an extensive background, and the concensus is that the fast skins to not add any warmth over any other "conventional" suit. This cap looks like it would be the berries! If this is true this would help a lot. As my daughter completed the Manhattan Marathon, and only concern was hypothermia, which nearly ended her swim. Interested in anyones experience with this cap. Help, Hurt,no difference.
Hope this help
