Doug, think that the temperature there is already suitable for a swim. Don't see any people here, which supposes me that you've chosen for this deserted beach in order to achieve an optimal image. If so, you've succeeded in doing this.

A beautiful beach scene Doug - looks so inviting. I am ready to get in the water and swim. It would be so different than here - we always have some wave action, never this calm.
Looks like a very inviting place to be, super texture and composition. The sand/beach looks like it's more sand then some in southern Italy where it's all pebbles and small stones. Lovely depth and gorgeous sky
Wow the detail in this photo is absolutely stunning you can even see through the water and the angle you took this photo from is amazing along with the light and natural colours too.Just love the carm look of this beautiful scene too.Well done to a great looking capture Doug.
Good compositional shot of it too!
