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!
I just did a swim in Morgan Bay, Maine (next to blue hill) this past week with just a speedo. I'd hazzard the water was ~60 degrees. Burr. I think the most important thing is to keep swimming - that will keep you warm. Try thinking about something non-temparature related. For me, thinking of the warm sun to bask in when I got to my island destination was NOT doing me any good. :FISH2:
