Mind you, that isnt unexpected. It is spring fed, and

its over 1000m.

Over 1000m deep?

You gotta give it more than 1 minute - another 1 or 2 and
your skin goes numb and it's all good! (Experience from
hoodless diving in 8C)

That's exceptionally deep. Is this Lake Baikal or
Tanganyika? "Baikal is the world’s deepest lake. Its average
depth is 730 m, and its maximum depth is 1637m."

It takes more than a minute to get over the initial shock.
Wear two caps or one made specially for cold water swimming.

I see the problem. You don't get over the cold standing
there. You start swimming swim. First, when you enter the
water, you are already warmed up. You have run a few k's on
the beach or on the road, or you have ridden a bike, and you
have done some exercises and stretching. Then, when you get
in the water, you don't stand on the bottom; you swim.

Look at it this way, if youth see you standing chest deep in
cold water, they will laugh at you whether you are wearing a
speedo or not.

where i went swimming, it isnt easy to just start swimming
-- unless you like rocks in your head --- i have to wade out
to about my neck, cus there are alot of large bolders, and i
would have to roll over them, or just climb over them. I
didnt go to a place that has nice beach sand.

Ah, you had to get back into that....... that is a pointless
comment, at least now.

It sounds very much like you were trying to swim in a
place where you should not have been trying to swim. Don't
swim there.

this area is not unsafe, just rocky, like a lot of the lakes
in my area. we do have beaches.... but i dont like sand. it
gets too hot in the summer. rocks stay alittle cooler

But you can start swimming as soon as the water is up to
your waist. If you don't know where the rocks are, you
should *not* be swimming there. Stop making excuses. It is
unsafe to swim where you don't know the geography and can't
see it because the water isn't clear. If the water is clear,
you can see the rocks. If it isn't clear and you don't know
where the channel is, it isn't safe.
