Bigdog2003 Posted January 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We sail to the Bahamas this in a few days and was courious if anyone has been down this time of year and if we would be able to enjoy the water. We swim in Lake Supieror in the summer so I know we can handle some cool water.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diprip Posted January 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2012 just got back from there on 1/2. It was 80 degrees outside and the water was cold. There was people swimming in it but it was not comfortable. We just swam in the pools instead at the wyndam in nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went swimming in Lake Erie this past June and I am sure it will not be that cold when we go in 3 weeks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melismass Posted January 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We snorkeled in the Bahamas last February and it was so cold it took your breath away. I know thats not what you want to hear. Having said that, we still snorked! Brrrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozers Posted January 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If it's reasonably warm outside the initial jolt might be a bit of a shock, but unless it's REALLY cold water I get used to it pretty quick. Can't be much worse than the Great Lakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted January 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2012 The temp in Nassau this week will be in the mid seventies. Nice to walk around or be in the sun. I don't know what the water tempeture will be like. Last October it was great. Have a fun cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room Service! Posted January 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We were there in Nov. ...... once. Won't be doing that again, water was too cool for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
must2cruz Posted January 6, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2012 we were there last January and went swimming. If you can do Lake Superior it will feel warm to you. We've done both. The trick for cooler water is to get wet quick and start moving. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
