Ok, so the more they email me, the more I get nervous about the water temp. Last year it was 69 which stung to get in, but it made for a nice swimming temp. By the end, though, my fingers and toes felt a little numb, but that could have been tired (??).
But this year, it could be up to 10 degrees colder?! What to do when the coolest water I can find here in Cincinnati is 80?
I think that it is best to swim with a partner of the same ability so that if you get hypothermic you will have someone to help you.i live in Florida and have gotten cold in water a lot warmer than 65 degrees. The first sign is confusion-you may feel cold and want to get out but won't because you are confused. swim with some one who can keep you going in the right direction.
