And swim back to shore without drowning? Say calm waters, 60 degrees
I have no idea. I can swim like a fish in a pool but you can't hit the bottom or side to rest in ocean. If offfered a million tax free, what's the furthest distance you'd chance? Not sure I'd even pick a mile and a half. Lot of back swimming
60 degrees is frigid bro. I'd have to be damn close to the shoreline
wet suit or not??
80 degrees - I could do 10 miles
Fuck that 60 is cold as fuck
That's crazy that 70-80 is only a few hours
I guess that's different in a pool? Pretty sure I've been in the my pool for that long with no problem
15 miles. Start out only 5 miles from shore, I'd swim 5 miles further out to sea, dive down and find aquaman, slap him and make him my sea bitch, then backstroke 10 miles to shore.
Hypothermia Chart says exhaustion or unconscious in 1-3hrs in 50-60deg water. 60-70deg is 2-7hrs. So you got 1.5 hrs of open water swimming before you pass out. Buuut, at the end you're almost unconscious so you aren't swimming for shit.
So 1.5 miles max.
I can swim a mile in the pool without stopping, pretty casual. I fucking hate cold water though.
Realistically, 1 mile. I ain't trying to die for $1 million.
Woman from here who's 66 years old swam the fucking English Channel last month, over 21 miles. Had to peel jellyfish off her face

You can wear a wetsuit

Girly -You can wear a wetsuit
Now you're talking different shit. A 5mm wetsuit is like a fucking life jacket.
Friends and have been scuba diving in January/February out of Beverly MA in wet suits
there was snow on the ground, our masks would ice up as soon as it came out of the water
people were looking at us like we were crazy
I'd say maybe a mile or two at the most
Sharks or no sharks in this senario ?

Swammed?
No clue. Discounting the temperature guidelines, ill say this:
Two weeks ago I swam off a boat in a lake in the upper Midwest. Cool water, but not freezing, and probably about 30 feet deep. I was half drunk, but nothing really crazy. That shit is exhausting! Having nowhere to touch is a different ballgame.

Ocean open water is acompletely different animal than lake or river, and compared to a pool....
The longest open water I have done is 2 miles.
my regular swim workout which I do in a saltwater pool ranges from 1.5 - 2 miles. It is nothing compared to 2 miles in open water.
I think people greatly underestimate the difference between pool and open ocean.
That's why I asked.
My normal pool workout is to ride my bike across town to Tulane, swim a mile, go to the outside pool and peep the college sluts for min (who are like why does this old bro have goggle marks on his face), catch my breath, and then ride home.
