We have several slots available for individual and group Open Water Boot Camps November - March. Our water temperatures range from 58F - 65F during our winter, so you can get your cold water training and qualification swim here in the Tampa area of Florida. You can come swim with us 2 hours to 10 hours per day, 1-7+ consecutive days, with weekend and weekday slots available.

As for the swimmer that retired because of hyperthermia, I am again surprised that you don't know that the night before she was sick and didn't eat anything almost the entire day. She also started getting cold within the first 30 minutes to an hour and endured it for as long as she could. Before you use a swimmer's reason for abandoning as a gauge for the temperature of the water, I'd think it would be a good idea to speak to that swimmer first. IMHO
