Just went swimming out in a lake, and well, i didnt go in for more than 1
minute. The water was REALY cold. Mind you, that isnt unexpected. It is
spring fed, and there are spots that they dont know how deep it is... its
over 1000m.
I ll try the other lake later.. it is warmer.

Over 1000m deep?
That is how far they figure -- at least to solid bottom....

You gotta give it more than 1 minute - another 1 or 2 and your skin
goes numb and it's all good! (Experience from hoodless diving in 8C)

That's exceptionally deep. Is this Lake Baikal or
Tanganyika? "Baikal is the world’s deepest lake.
Its average depth is 730 m, and its maximum depth
is 1637m."

Micheal
Isn't Lake Michigan about 300 feet deep in just some parts. That's from a
glacier I believe.
So your Lake is from a meteor strike or something? 1000m is over 3000 ft
right?
All that said, smaller, shallower Lakes do heat up faster in the spring OR get
a wetsuit.

It takes more than a minute to get over the initial shock. Wear two
caps or one made specially for cold water swimming. |

I see the problem. You don't get over the cold standing there. You
start swimming swim. First, when you enter the water, you are already
warmed up. You have run a few k's on the beach or on the road, or you
have ridden a bike, and you have done some exercises and stretching.
Then, when you get in the water, you don't stand on the bottom; you
swim.
Look at it this way, if youth see you standing chest deep in cold
water, they will laugh at you whether you are wearing a speedo or not. |

where i went swimming, it isnt easy to just start swimming -- unless you
like rocks in your head --- i have to wade out to about my neck, cus there
are alot of large bolders, and i would have to roll over them, or just climb
over them. I didnt go to a place that has nice beach sand.

Ah, you had to get back into that....... that is a pointless comment, at
least now.

It sounds very much like you were trying to swim in a place where you
should not have been trying to swim. Don't swim there.

this area is not unsafe, just rocky, like a lot of the lakes in my area. we
do have beaches.... but i dont like sand. it gets too hot in the summer.
rocks stay alittle cooler

But you can start swimming as soon as the water is up to your waist.
If you don't know where the rocks are, you should *not* be swimming
there. Stop making excuses. It is unsafe to swim where you don't know
the geography and can't see it because the water isn't clear. If the
water is clear, you can see the rocks. If it isn't clear and you don't
know where the channel is, it isn't safe. |
