Hi Claire,

Firstly, thanks for your comment – it’s fantastic to hear you’re still dipping in and out of the pool at the young age of 80.

Regarding your question about keeping warm when temperatures near zero, it’s about getting out of swimwear and into warm clothes as quickly as possible. One of the best things you can buy to help stay warm whilst changing is a ‘Changing Poncho’. Please check out my Northcore Beach Basha Pro Review to give you an idea of how these changing poncho’s might help.

As you’re Texas based it’s hard for me (a UK based surfer) to say which brands would fit your situation best, but certainly take a look at these ‘Changing Poncho’s’ as an item that might solve your problem.

Feel free to get back in touch if you have anymore questions!

My club pool is kept at 83 degrees (an outdoor pool). I want to continue to swim throughout the winter. I am very sensitive to the cold, don’t have much body fat, and I’m 80 years old. I want to be as comfortable in the water as possible, given the above situation! I am 5’3″ and weigh 109 pounds. I don’t think much can be done about when I get out of the water, except to pile on warm clothes. Any suggestions would be most welcomed!! Claire Harris
