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.

I have used the cap and fastskin/legskins in openwater (catalina for the legskins)
I found the fastskin to be a little bit cooling as it drys so fast it felt like any wind hititng it instantly cooled it.
The elastic edging of the bubble cap chews my neck badly so I only used it for a few 3-4 mile swims before abandoning it.
