the water in the ocean is constant - relatively speaking to the rain water falling from above you. The rain is - yes - melting ice, also it is exposed to evaporation on its way down. Evaporation cools the water and keeps the temperature of the water cool - the ocean water, although in some areas could be colder than the falling rain, will usually always be warmer than the rain. If the water is colder than the rain - you probably wouldn't intentionally be swimming in it

Water holds heat a long time, and also take a long time to warm up. You can have cold water in the spring, and warm water in the autumn for this reason. Rain has little affect on the temperature of the water in a body as large as a sea.

Due to top distinctive warmth of water (or as an alternative sea water), water cools off slowly. So, while its raining, the external air feels cooler than water. This could also be the intent why the ocean appears to be a lot hotter than land within the night time.

2 factors I can think of.
1) you experience warm underwater current though its raining.
2) the weather was warm before the rain and the sea water retained the heat.

Sea water is fairly at higher temperature than the rain water

Because the sea water is warmer than the rain water.

You wouldn't in the Arctic Sea. But where you are the sea is warmer than the rain.

Because there is no breeze under the sea that drops down the termperature of the rain drops

Because the water is practically mentaining the temperature; theoretically it changes, but extremely slow. And the rain temperature is lower than the sea water's temperature...you do the maths:P

Rain coming down is cooler, actually it is melting ice.... Sea maintains a pretty constant temperature...
