Does anyone know the ACTUAL temp of water at DC for dolphin swim?

I was hoping someone has actually asked and can tell me.

Thanks so much!

The actual temperature is COLD! We were there in August the summer they opened and my 8 year old son's lips were almost blue by the time we got out of that water. (This was before we found out about the wet suits!) To answer your question, though, I think I remember them saying it was around 70 degrees (give or take a few). It is well worth it, though - but next time we'll know to get the wet suits first!

I remember them saying something like 68.

If you wanna practice before going, just take a cold bath. Or you could start with a warm shower, and slowly turn the dial to cold, and get used to the feeling. After you get in the water and move, you get used to it. The good thing, is that the showers and lazy river are heated.
