Well I was pretty happy with these guys. Fantastic camp shoe and they held up just fine for stream crossings. They will get sand under your feet if it's really sandy though, so they may not be a good option for a desert or sandy beach.

If it's always that cold, do people even bother gong swimming? This was in the Bankhead National Forest in Alabama. Temps were in the 60's at night and 70's during the day. The water was no exception; it was a mild temperature, nothing like what you have experienced.
