Water temp is 58-degrees, today, June 4 ...... not exactly tropical ....but doable for wading and swimming in shallow water up to neck deep with a short sleeve-short leg wetsuit, wetsuit socks, water shoes, and wetsuit hat and a swimmers belt.
If you wait till the water gets up to 70, you could be waiting till some time in July ..... especially this year!
Someone should invent a low cost heat source for using inside a wet suit? Something like a flat, light weight, object, about the length and width of a 3x5x3/4" sponge, just like hot oatmeal which absorbs heat when heated in a microwave oven, and then slowly radiates the heat out for one hour, and can be used inside a wet suit. Seems like a device for the miitary to create that could be used for recreational swimming in Lake Winnipesaukee when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming which is about nine months per year.
A heat oatmeal sponge.......just heat it in the microwave for 2-minutes.....place it inside your wet suit.... and it stays 85-degree warm for one hour, and has the power to keep icy cold water warm inside a wet suit......what a great invention ...... available in regular, or maple sugar flavor ..... and can be eaten in very small bites in an emergency situation, like when you get hungry ..... a hot oatmeal, wet suit sponge....with the natural power of oatmeal.....your U S military research/design at work! .... tastes great and keeps you warm in your wet suit!
