I have begun OW swimming two weeks ago. Today 1250 m was possible, before I could feel the cold in a negative way. Weather data: air temp, 0 degrees C, water 2 degrees C, 8 m/s and it was snowing when i got out of water.
Changing from wet suit to normal clothes was a bit cold (I was freezing my ass of), and cold/numb fingers made it really difficult to take of the wetsuit off - thus I was almost naked for 5-10 minutes.
Of course it doesn't kill me, but it was kind of unpleasant.
Anybody having advice for gear that can help. It is not a possibility to change indoors.
