Depends whether Easter is at the end of march (like this year) or later. This
year it will be definitely to cold. Maybe it's possible at the end of April, but
even if air temperature is warm enough, the water might still be quite cold....
I was in Sicily in April 2001 (from the 16th to the 21st). Air temperature was
about 25°, but I didnt think about swimming.

It's an individual thing. I have a friend who swims in Aegina, in Greece,
not too far from Athens, at Easter, but I would not do it. Too cold for me,
warm enough for her. Easter is an iffy period.

If you are from Germany it's warm enough.

If you are from Florida the western Med is NEVER warm enough, even in
the summer.

In fact, I'm from Russia, so swimming under snowfall
isn'd a big deal, either :-)
Based in Zurich and looking for a place to drive to instead of flying,
for a little sun and swim from April 23rd to May 3rd.
Spent hours trying to find information about average water temperatures
at Sicily, with no luck at all.
weather.com and like don't seem to have such statustics.
Today the water is +14C, it's OK to swim, but not for hours,
which I intend to to. +20C would be an acceptable minimum.

Cheers,
Andrei

Download and expand CLIMATE.ZIP from http://users.erols.com/rcarpen/
It won't have just where you want, but will give some idea.

Have a look at -

http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/w....php3?s=006461

It will give you detailas for catania - not Taormina but close
enough.

The OP was looking for sea temperature. I didn't see that on the site
of your link.
