I waded out in my jammer and did a couple of laps before I couldn't feel my feet. Not good. Big headache. Lifeguard told me S/SW winds are pushing up cold lake water against the shore. Said breezes from the shore onto the lake warm it up. Weird to go to the beach on a 88/90 degree day and see *nobody* in the lake (unless its e-coli).

I had a thicker latex swim cap that I got when I did the Golden Gate Bridge swim. The ones that you get at the events are the thin caps that really don't keep your head warm in water 55F or colder.
