Thanks for the warning. We get curled paper here too. I'm not too worried. I have looked it up. Toronto summers in August are pretty close to par with Cuban summers in August. This includes humidity levels. Toronto can be worse than Cuba in that respect, actually. I'm guessing Cuba has more sun, but that's where tact comes in.

As for swimming all day every day: I didn't suggest every day, more than you stay near the water for the first couple days (acclimatization) so if you get dizzy-hot, you can dunk yourself to help cool off.

I'll probably be dunking myself periodically the whole time I'm there.
The bottom line is I know exactly what it's like when sweating does absolutely nothing for you.
