OK,
My last swim was last week in brisk 48 deg water in Long Island Sound. I'm done. Who is still hanging in there and what's the temp?

Mine is Long Island Sound, too - I think the water is still above 50 (barely)...I went both days last weekend without the wetsuit. Yesterday I swam, but broke down and wore the wetsuit. Even so, when I first started swimming I felt as though I had been hit in the torso and it was extremely uncomfortable. After a minute or so I got used to it and the swim was fine except for the annoyance of wearing the wetsuit.
I'm going to continue swimming until December, I think. I have vague plans of doing at least one more swim without the suit, but I am having some motivation problems in that area right now.
