Crawl for me apart from the first half length.
I wear one cap which I once ripped putting on and so I tried without but couldn't keep my head under, luckily the lifeguards were able to lend me one. I now carry two in my bag.
I swim everywhere with Aqua Sphere goggles because I find them more comfortable, hadn't considered they might help insulate my face a bit.

I have the aquasphere but currently Hampton pool is 26.5 degrees .
I used to sea swims of 12-13 but never 5-8 .
Start slowly in skins ?
Is that the advice ?
Get in quick or slow advance ? -

Yeah they really do, try swimming in cold water with the tiny eye only goggles, I get ice cream head straight away

When you guys swim in 5-8 degrees are you doing crawl or do you keep your head out of the water ?
its the headache that worries me .
