Preparations and Practice
No detail too small. We are all about pre-planning and preparation. We read that the water temperature this time of year in Hawaii is 78 to 80 degrees. Brr, that sounds chilly to us southerners so we decided to test our cold water tolerance. We heated the pool to 78 and Paula gave it a go. As you can see, she also took the opportunity to get in some snorkeling practice. No cramps, shivering fits, or turning blue. Climbing out of the pool into the gray, 56 degree weather was worse than swimming in the 78 degree water. We are still in the market for wetsuits but now know that we can survive the cooler water temperatures.
