Does Diane Sawyer Swim -- July 3, 2001

Recently, Diane Sawyer commented on her ocean preferences by relating the COOLroom and "wee wee water" (her term, trust us, it's not ours).

Following a segment about the COOLroom on ABC News (7/3/01), Diane Sawyer from Good Morning America explained that her limitation for swimming at the beach is that the water temperature has to be that of "wee wee water." The news anchors in New York, astonished by her admission, cautiously went on to explain that the temperature of her preference was around 98.6 °F. Even the cameraman's reaction could be heard, as he blurted out an obvious "What?!?" on the airwaves.

And just to point out an historical note: Hey Diane, the last time the waters of New Jersey reached that level dinosaurs were having cardiac arrest!
