Listen to Dogpound plan to go swimming...
I go swimming way to often and it is usually very stressful, cold, unexpected, hazardous conditions. big waves. I try to be prepared and I enjoy (will continue) going out. few things have the balance of adventure, challenge, rewards, excitement, great memory's . as being in a kayak fishing with friends
That is why I was looking for a jacket that I can bring after getting wet and works when wet. I thank I found one, a neoprene divers boat jacket from Scubapro? but out of my $ at this time.
