Warm enough to swim in water right now?

[superpp]

Swam in the sea at th end of October last year no problem.
Swam at Easter this year too, but that was cold!

When we left a few days ago it was a bit of a cold shock getting into our pool and for the first 20 seconds or so. The sea was quite a bit warmer and very pleasant to swim in

Apparently the sea stays a warmish 18c all year round, hence us loonies swimming in it on xmas day numerous times. Pools will cool but - peeps only just coming out wont notice they are too cool only us mad locals will.

Swam in the sea last week while on a boat trip, and the water was very warm, well over 20 degrees, warmer than the pool.

Here is a link to a site which gives you the information you want about the climate, sea temperature etc.

http://www.holidaycheck.com/climate-wetter_Fethiye-ebene_oid-id_6740.html

The average water temperature for Fethiye in October is 22 degrees, there are 8 hours of sunshine each day and there are 6 days of rain in the month ( I think we have had all those already).  However, these figures are only averages.

Yup, sea temp. only ever 16 degrees minimum and presently more than that of course. A lot of swimming pools are to hot in Summer and the sea is more refeshing, then presently to cold in the pool, but warmer in the sea.
