It was a hot day. The water seemed a bit cold when I first got in, but
after I started swimming I didn't notice it anymore.

I think so. It was hard to read the GPS inside the tupperware container so
I didn't rely on it too much. Also, I expected the arrow to be always
pointing in the wrong direction ("hold level"). I checked it maybe 3 times
while I was swimming and got to a point where it said I was within 10
meters. But when I looked down all I could see was darkness! I was ready
to give up and started swimming back to shore, when I looked down again
and saw the dock! Then I was very glad to have read the clue on the cache
page and spotted the marker a minute later. I think the cache probably was
within 10 or 15 meters of the spot where I checked the GPS.
Thanks again for the cache,
Hoover.
