I can handle down to about 13/14C ie usual scottish summer/autumn temps for a brief time, bugger going any lower than that though!

21 is probably the temp where things start to feel comfortable for me though, below that is just a sliding scale of balticness! 😆

Sub 6°c in the rivers recently.
it doesn’t feel bad at all, just making sure you are not in too long is the key

I think the coldest water and day I’ve managed was a kayak on the Etive – it was so cold air temperature wise our buoyancy aids and gear were freezing solid with ice after each fall. We gave up at the last fall as it was more solid than liquid…

I had a similar day on the Lyon that involved multiple swims for some staff on the January training day, and a proper ‘we are out of here before someone dies of hypothermia’.

Several times, just never been stupid enough to go swimming when up there. It is likely that I will next time I am there though

I’ve never open-water swum anywhere in the UK as warm as the Baltic in Summer. 21°C my last Baltic swim in Germany.
