"I love wild or openwater swimming but suffer from not being able to regulate my body temperature, so I wear a 5 mm suit most of the year. As the water temp drops I’m struggling more with my temp dropping… When do you call it a day and stop swimming in the wild ? " Never if my local bay is anything to go by! Regularly see people swimming even when it's snowing up here! I guess it's different for everyone though. | |||

This is one of the benefits , you get the same results without taking thermogenics. Just stay close the edge (but out of the s) or swim with others and shorter shorter swims. We sometimes swim Ladybower reservoir in winter , completely naked , your skin burns but for the next 2-3 days you feel amazing , your bodies heater kicks in and you’re glowing , your skin feels amazing and you’re burning fat at a fast pace | |||

The pain is becoming hard to bare too. Ohhhh the joys of CFS. | |||

"We both prefer open water swimming to pool swimming but given most of our triathlons take place in lakes or the sea then we have to be acclimatised to certain conditions. Deep winter we do revert to the pool but that's because we're both wimps when it comes to anything less than 10 degrees " Pool may be it from now for me
I used to do tri’s myself before I broke my elbow and became unable to swim crawl. Not the same swimming breast stroke, just not competitive. Nice bike mrs blue sky lovely those F10  | |||

"One of my friends has the same problem with temperature and stops sea swimming in October/November. 2 other friends swim year round but never with a wetsuit!" I got to Nov last year but even fully gloved up find the water is biting at me now. Hoping for a warm spell | |||
