Have you swam any OW where you could see the bottom? Where was it and how deep was it? What was down there? See anything interesting?

This sounds like an NPR geography quiz. Where were you? New England, especially northern New England, still has big heaps o' snow; folks are practicing their cramponing and routefinding skills on top of the snowbanks!
A 4-meter swim? You stretched out your length, then folded back up? Or was that the vertical dip component? Sounds frightful.

It was Blue Mountain Lake in Up-State NY (in the Adirondacks). At the dock they had a little underwater fan to keep the ice from crushing the dock. The air temp was 26 with a nice steady breeze so the water felt warmer than the air.
It was it straight down up off and scamper out then try and towel off and get clothes on while shivering wildly. Rather comical in all.
