Question about water temp...

Is it a reasonably comfortable temperature? I prefer not to wear a wetsuit.

hi there!

I was in the river last saturday and it was about 74 degrees.  I've done the swim eight years in a row and the water is always surprisingly warm. I've never used da wet suit, I'd say only abot 10% of the people do.  I heard they make it much easier to swim so I might get one this year as I'm getting kind of old and I do find that I get chilled after being in for more than an hour.
