I was thinking of doing that Great Hudson River Swim with a client.
Do you think I'll need a sleeved wet suit and neoprene cap for the 59 degree or so water temp?
I usually swim with a sleeveless. But haven't done a Hudson River swim this early.
Thanks,
Eve

I'm doing this swim - http://nycswim. org/Event/ Event.aspx? Event_ID= 1901 in 4 weeks. It looks like a good quick one to get acclimated. I also aim to try and get in the water at Oakland Beach (Rye NY) around the 1st weekend in may (will be away next weekend).
Let's keep a dialog here and get some interest going.
A friend who has taken regular dips in the LI sound through the winter emailed me that the water temp is currently at a balmy 48 degrees (give or take a degree), so in two weeks, who knows.. it could be up to spa temps of 52!
-with a wetsuit, double swim cap (or neoprene) and maybe ear plugs, we should be set...
