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?

I know this will make me sound like a wimp, but why do people swim in very cold water if they are not trying to acclimatize for a cold water race or swim? I always feel that it's better to go for a 2 hour swim with a wetsuit on than to go naked and have to get out after 30 minutes because I am cold.
I'm too fat for my wetsuit. For practical purposes, I suppose, I'm already wearing one :)
