Water deep under ground is essentially at a constant temperature year round. If it is at, say, 9 C, it will be colder that warm summer day of 30 C, and warmer than a cold winter night of -10 C.
So, it is not that water than change temperature, it is the perception based on the fact the weather changes.

also, the specific heat of water (or the energy required to change 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius) is relatively high compared to the land surrounding it, therefore the waters temperature does not vary near as much as the land around it so it seems cooler than the land in summer, and warmer than the land in winter.

because your perception of hot and cold is skewed by the weather
