I got in for a swim of 1/2 mile or so this afternoon. The day was beautiful, water warm at 67, and air temp mid70's. People are still on vacation enjoying the beaches here. I put on a pair of compression shorts, then I wrapped an elastic back support snugly around my low back. To cover up the white, I put a thin pair of trunks on and wore a rash guard t-shirt. I felt well-wrapped. I am rusty. There was a one-foot washing machine chop everywhere. Also the current was moving to the north. I did a 24 minute swim. Out a few hundred yards, south a hundred yards, then north and in which took me 10 minutes or so. My back held out well with the support. I'll use it again next time. I feel good.
Back on the sand my back immediately started hurting as usual, but that's ok if I can swim.
