I have an Orca full suit and farmer John wetsuits. Being a Wuss I hate cold water. how long would I be able to swim in the full in 42+ degree water? I know it's like asking how long a piece of string is but Eh! These questions have to be asked :-)
Thanks

If the lake is up to 47 or higher, you should be good to go in a wet suit. How long? As long as you can safely stand. I received a wet suit for Christmas last year, and tried it out in Long Island Sound on Friday (maybe 45 degrees) and was shocked by how warm I was. I couldn't really swim too long because I had no ear plugs in, but otherwise I could have stayed in indefinitely. Let the fun begin!
