If you can manage a 34 minute out and back swim in 49 degree F water, I think you're well-acclimated - your times aren't determined by temp, but by distance. I imagine you could swim in water several degrees colder. Whether or not this is comfortable is another thing, but then cold-water is its own thing. Enjoy.
