How come water at room temperature feels colder than room temperature?

Maybe if you're a pussy. But your body can't lose heat to the environment if you're immersed in water warmer than your body. Losing heat to the environment is important for your body to maintain its temperature.

water has more heat capacity than air, so it warms you and cools you much more quickly in either direction

It conducts heat better.
because its lower than your body temperature, it cools you down faster and hence it feels colder.
