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?

itritoo - I apologize, I misinterpreted your post, my bad.
I suggest you discuss your channel swim with our newly minted Channel Swimmer, chaos. He would be one heck of a resource for your quest.
Chaos - in the event you read this, I am reminded I need to ask our coach to put together a sprint workout for you when you visit with us. That may partially even the odds of keeping up with you.
itritoo,
I'd also recommend that you read "Dover Solo" by Marcia Cleveland... it's an indispensable resource for channel swimmers.
