I've got full diamond armor with 11 units of protection but I can't get near the temple because the swarm of guardians slice me up with a flurry of rapid attacks. I can barely survive running over the temple full speed on a boat, even swerving side to side to avoid the attacks. There appears to be some 25-50 guardians in total, and their numbers seem to be growing rapidly.
Any advice on how to reduce their numbers?

Make sure to have a Super Golden Apple handy because Guardians do tend to do tons of damage especially in a pack. Also to walk faster in water, make some Depth Strider boots as well as brew yourself a few Water Breathing potions and Potion of Regeneration
all you need are 6 invisibility potions, 6 breathing potions, and a sword (and a silktouch pick if you want sea lanterns).
drink the potions as you get near, swim in the door, kill the 3 elder guardians as they spawn. then just search about for a sponge room and you're done!
I can't move very fast because my framerate drops quickly with so many guardians and squid around. I managed to get into the temple because I had fewer guardians, maybe only 10-15, but still dropped my framerate into a slideshow.
I don't have a brewing stand yet.
I'll have to try using milk to remove the mining fatigue. I got inside the temple but I can't hardly do anything because it takes forever to mine a block. I also can't see very far even with respiration III, so I'm perpetually stuck in inky blackness. Lights shine onto blocks for about 5 meters and no more.
Your gonna want a water breathing potion of course, otherwise you'll drown.
Bows won't work under water, unless your very close to the guardian. I had an idea where you could build a structure above and drop TNT on them. It won't damage anything in the monument, but it can still do harm to the guardians. It probably won't work.
I just use a torch on a wall to reset my air. I have respiration 3 so I don't have to do it very often. Also I can see better now. Maybe the sun was shining in my eyes before.
I killed all three elder guardians and the mining fatigue went away. I can now loot the temple pretty easily, though finding my way around it is still a bit of a chore. I'm recycling the 3 sponges from the elder guardians to clear out the water but I'd like to find the sponge room to speed up the process and save coal. (Trying to do this without leaving the temple.)

Build a tunnel directly to the entrance, using a milk bucket if you ever make a mistake and retreating back into the tunnel if a Guardian starts to shoot you. Once you reach the temple, wall off the rest of the entrance.
Doors are extremely useful in the Monument as they can be closed instantly to stop a Guardian beam and additionally refill your oxygen. Respiration and Water Breathing are unnecessary if you have enough doors (I went in a monument without Water Breathing and only Resp 1 and killed every Elder Guardian on Hard, and the respiration never ended up saving my life), but Night Vision is extremely useful.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
I really wouldn't even attempt this if you don't have brewing going yet. As I just did this and am 99% done emptying out the entire thing and tearing down mine to make a trap, the advice I can give is get fully enchanted diamond armor, a great sword, water breathing (and night vision if you want) potions, and either some regeneration potions or you can do what I did, which was a little more expensive, and set up a beacon over top of the temple with resistance and regeneration. The beacon made things a lot easier.
Even with all that, keep watch on your health and armor, as a few of those things will still eat at you pretty fast and they wreck the durability on your armor.

well i've been taking notes and so far the milk and the doors have been great tips . are these temples always laid out the same or different ? i managed to get one sponge and that speeded thing up until i lost it . if i could find the " sponge room " i would have it made .
Nope, they're just a bunch of random pieces, generated in random spots through the temple. There could be no sponge room at all, or if you're lucky like I was, I found 4 sponge rooms in the temple I just cleared.

Also back then I was dealing with what was later said to be a bugged number of guardians. I don't remember the details but it was so many that you never would have made it to the temple to start your door trick. These days I just swim in the front door and don't have any problems.

This is the things you'll need for raiding a ocean monument safely:
1) Potions of Water Breathing (at least 2)
2) Potions of Night Vision (at least 2)
**When combine these two potions, you will be able to see extremely clear in water and you'll be able to breath underwater for a long period of time.
3) Full diamond set (maybe enchanting the helmet with Respiration and Aqua Affinity incase you water breathing runs out and to mine blocks faster underwater and enchanting the boots with Depth Strider to move around faster.)
4) Optional: 1 Potion of Regeneration
1 Potion of Strength
1 Potion of Resistance
5) YOU NEED THIS: AT LEAST 5 BUCKETS OF MILK BECAUSE THE ELDER GUARDIAN WILL GIVE YOU "MINING FATIGUE".
6) And a golden apple (better if enchanted!)
There you go, now you're ready to go out there and raid those ocean monument like a pro!
Eat sushi to intimidate the guardians. Or was that to make them lethally agressive.... :/ I'd say use pillaring, elytra, & lingering potions of instant damage and poison. Hope this helps!
Any advice on how to reduce their numbers?

Ok this is no hard.
I go by boat.
I bring iron armour, iron sword x2, iron pickaxe x 5, iron axe x 5, doors x64, cobble stone x128, pumpkin lanterns x 64, some food. spare boat.
use boat to temple.
jump into water sink to a wall. drop about 4 doors in a square.
Dig into wall while always in the air of the door. keep placing doors in front of you.
I use door and cobble stone to completely clean out a room of water, never used a sponge yet.
if just going for the gold, i just run around digging into walls looking for the gold room.
place doors and cobble stone. get the gold, then i dig out till i am out of the temple, using doors for air, swim up place boat and sail away.
i looted 4 temple of gold and 2 of sponges this way.
and currently clearing out a complete temple, made a rail road to it.
use iron because drinking the milk to get rid of the mining curse is pointless, the guardians can curse you the next second you drink.
never died yet, the doors keep you save, i also killed dozens of guardians by placing doors and stone to trap them, then kill them
have fun
That's a cool trick, and quite the necro!
