I just started swimming at my city recreation center pool. It's heated but just barely. It will probably be pretty chilly with a brisk wind and cooler temperatures coming. Today it was 78 degrees outside and I was chilled while swimming.
Just wondering if there are any triathletes or others on here who swim in cooler conditions. What do you use? I'm going to go to my dive shop tomorrow and see if they have any 1.5ml wetsuit skins on sale. Also, thinking a beanie would help, since my ears were pretty chilly.
Other than that and a warm jacket for after swimming, any other techniques or tricks that I can try? I get cold helping with dive classes in the summer AZ heat when the pool is approaching 90 degrees. I would be diving either a 5ml or drysuit in today's water. I'm thinking that a heavy wetsuit would seriously restrict my upper arm movements.
