So why can't you swim in a pool, you won't be drinking the water. The water that's on your skin can be washed off after yo swim to get everything off that you don't want.
Are you fit?

it irritates my skin, it forms white layer on my skin.
I don't swim because I can't. 
Besides two of my friends have drowned swimming, so I'm not that eager to learn.
Jogging is nice, and I can do that anywhere in any weather.
p.s. About swimming, I once talked with the captain of the fastest ship in our navy and he offered me to join our navy. I told him I'm a poor candidate because I can't swim. He laughed and said that he prefers people who can't swim in his crew because those people try to save ship to the last.

yeah I love to swim amongst ice...the water feels so clean.
You can swim it, walk it, skate it, fish out of it (as long as its a lake), just don't try diving on it!
Wear a mask and wet suit, use flippers also.
True, even though its painful at first, cold water is a lot more tolerable than hot water. Cold water about 4C+ I can just get in, ouch this is painful, but just stay in. Hot water 38C+ I have to gradually get in, depending on how hot or cold my skin is.
41 degrees Fahrenheit?! That's nut-chilling, especially for a skinny little bugger like you. You must not be in there for very long.
Nitrox?
Not very long, some 15 minutes.
