Great idea for accurate feedback about the adequacy of immersion clothing at different water temperatures. I attended a cold water rescue session yesterday and expected 42 degree water. After rolling, I didn't get the expected ice-cream headache and asked someone what they thought the water temperature was. He said "50 degrees, I measured it with a thermometer before getting in the boat". It definitely helped the immersion clothing feedback loop to have an accurate water temperature reading.
