Winter Lake Questions

I am writing a novel and someone gets dumped in the Lake a week after Ice Out. What is the temperature of the water at that point? Is it 50 degrees yet? How long would a person, who was consciously keeping their chest out of the water and wearing a flotation device, have to get out of the water before hypothermia was irreversible?

What are some strategies she could use?

What is the water like in November? How cold does it get before ICE IN.

How soon could divers go in the water after Ice Out. Would they wear dry suits? How long could they stay under?
