I live in the PNW and want to start OW swimming. Unfortunately, the Puget Sound is still in the high 40's. Does anyone train in water that cold? I know there are dangers in doing so (wetsuit of course, double caps, earplugs, etc) but am curious if anyone does. Thanks.:agree:

Right now I wouldn't last 10 minutes in 40's water!
I'm still waiting for 50, and even that's gonna be a spectacular shiver-fest.
I'm pretty conservative and get out before I start feeling bad (well, I try). I always make sure I stay very close to an exit point when it's cold.
