https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/open-water-training-and-technique/25848/hudson-8-bridgesI&#39;m afraid of cold water, but would like to try one leg of the Hudson 8 Bridges? Any speculation on which could be a warmer segment? a shorter segment? Thank you.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/272850?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 18 Oct 2018 06:57:16 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:db148cc2-8b0d-4d9d-93e1-25be6daf77b1LynWhat&#39;s cold to you? My suggestion if trying to decide on a first stage to swim would be Stage 6. It&#39;s relatively short, has a very swift current, is scenic, you get to swim under the GWB and it ends at La Marina. It&#39;s a really super fun stage. I don&#39;t remember temperature being an issue for anyone but every year is different.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
