Colder Water Advice?

Hi All- So I am getting ready for the Swim4Life in Provincetown, MA in September. The average water temp there that time of year is said to be around 65 degrees. While it isn't a frigid swim, it's certainly colder than what I am used to training in (VA Beach in the summer - water temps in the mid-70's). Any tips? Also, I am planning on using my sleeveless john wetsuit, and was thinking about a thin thermo rash guard to go under it for some sleeves and added warmth (I am a total cold wimp if you haven't notice by now!). Anyone had any experience with them? THANKS!

    MAC Swimmer. Check the page about the cold water caps above in my post and down the page you will see links to Dolphin club and SERC. There both swim clubs in San Francisco Ca. The bay there is about 55-60 year round and these people swim year round sans wetsuits and only a cap. 55 is cold I agree!
