You're worse than I am. Many years ago, I could tolerate water that was a bit chilly - in the 60sF. Now it's got to be in the 70s before I'll even consider getting wet. I'm not comfortable unless it's over 80.
At Laguna Beach drying off in a lawn chair right now.
Air temp: 84F. SST 68F (huge improvement from last weekend when the air temp was around 65 and the SST was around 60F)
Beach is full of people in and out of the water.
Gonna get warmer both on land and in the water in the next few days.

That sounds heavenly about now.... Air temp is about 56F and raining and SST is 52F today.... far too cold for swimming
I swam competitively and have swam in many pools that are way too cool and very rarely way too warm, its very expensive to heat a pool, but too high is dangerous too if your body gets too adjusted and you are really exerting yourself. They say a comfortable pool temperature for adults is 78-89 degrees and swimming for fitness is 78 to 84 degrees
personally these ideal temps below are too high but mainly talking about pools, sea temps need to be in high 70s to me to be comfortable, cool air temps are horrible getting out of the water but I don't mind jumping into high to mid to not to low 70's after sweating and sailing, as long as air temps arent too bad
82 degree water (and lower)
Competitive swim team training
Adult aerobic lap swimming
High intensity vertical water exercise
Note: The ideal air temperature for these activities is 78-80 degrees; never higher than 82 degrees. The more aerobic the activity, the lower the air temperature needs to be.
86 – 88 degree water
Learn-to-swim
Moderate vertical water exercise and water walking
Younger age (10-under) swim training
Low intensity lap swimming
Synchronized swimming
Diving
Recreational swimming

That is why Oceanic climate are **** (despite their "milder winters"). Those Mid-Atlantic states climates that you that you rate lower than Vancouver (due to more snow and much colder cold snaps) would never see such cold rain all day in mid JUNE and their SST are in the 70s right now. They can have a beach weather at 10AM with temps in the 80s all morning even if the afternoon is rained out with a heavy thunderstorm.
