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've finally figured out the solution to swimming in the cold water without the wetsuit, and it's so obvious I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner! Yesterday I wore the wetsuit to the beach and brought a regular bathing suuit along too. I went in with the wetsuit and swam for half an hour or so and then got out, took off the wetsuit and put on the regular bathing suit and then went right back in. Since the worst part of getting in - putting the face in - was over, it was easy to just swim for another twenty minutes or so.
