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?

It's about 8 or 9 C (46-48) now in Ireland depending where you are. Yesterday we had snow & ice right down the water line, that's a first for me. Still ok for half an hour at 9 C.
Having the coldest Nov in 40 years so colder than normal this time of year. But training for the British Cold Water Swimming champs in January, expected temp 1 to 3C (34-37) but Fresh water so it'll feel even worse.
2 friends are near a lake and training in 6C, 1 friend is in Sweden and training in 3 to 4C sea (Check Steve's post of him yesterday Sun 28th on Daily News of OW.)
