Getting used to colder water

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.

    Does anyone know if the neoprene caps with the chin straps increase chafing? Is it better to just use two regular latex caps? Thanks Tyr makes a neato neoprene cap that is light enough to fit under a regular cap. It doesn't have a chin strap, either. I love it. Wear earplugs for warmth and to protect your ears, too.
