Perhaps a combined solution to the problems of a) the sea being cold, b) wanting to look cool, c) wanting to look as if everything is, how shall I put this...neat and tidy and d) not wanting to get sunburnt is to go swimming in a wetsuit. Most of the people you see swimming and surfing in the sea around here do it in wetsuits rather than bikinis and the like except on the very hottest of days.
Not that I'd ever do this in a million years. I'm reasonably happy to swim in a heated indoor pool. In fact, there was a time when I would often go swimming in hotel pools when working away. I can swim pretty well. But I do not get the appeal of swimming in the sea.
