Discussion: How far are you from open w...

How far are you from open water? I never liked swimming around here because virtually the only options are chlorinated pools...

too cold...I have a shortie wet suit, but I have to use that even in hawai'i. I've swum in local water in a full suit in August, and for me it's like being stabbed in the wrists and ankles (heh, AND on the face!) as the water comes in at the beginning, Yow!
I still got some tricks up my sleeve on the dry skin - regular aveeno & the King of Skin LUSH body bar, and timing out the pool dips to...maybe...every 5 days or so, not twice a week. we'll see how it goes.
