I have been running in "cold" water now for about 36 years. 42Fwinter-44Fsummer. I have never hurt anything other than what I should have in the first place ;) It had nothing to do with the water temp.

How cold has it been in Tennessee to get the water down to 40 F. I bet if you drop a thermometer in to it you might find it's closer to 60 F.
