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?
Get some ear plugs for the cold water. I use Mack's Pillow Soft silicone earplugs. These along with the silicon cap will help one be more cold tolerant.
