I'm really, totally okay with only swimming in one world. The water in Willow Creek is a swamp and the beaches in Brindleton Bay look cold to me most seasons. The only place I'd feel like swimming is the Windenburg Island but eh, I'd survive without it. Also it feels realistic to me personally, because swimming is an activity I only do on vacation when I travel somewhere warm enough.

Here are the beach water temps in Maine, the part of New England where I live. I am not far from Portland, Maine. Needless to say - we rarely if ever go in the water - or if we do - it is not for very long. Lucky for us Maine is also a state of many huge lakes that are much warmer than the ocean. We have much of the state preserved as a national forest and have lots of waterfalls, famed rivers, and natural pools. But here even though we have miles of seacoast - when we go in the ocean it's in watercraft more than anything. Swimming - go to a lake. I am just down the road from the beautiful Sebago Lake where we prefer to go swim.
