Does anyone actually workout in the outdoor pool with these inhuman water temperatures of 90+? Last week it was 86, and I was so uncomfortable, cramping constantly, despite bananas, Vit 3 and tons of water. I've had to go indoors, which is killing me, since I suffer through winter, living for the summer, but this is brutal. I'm on the East coast. This week the air quality is bad, and heat index is in the triple digits as well. Should I tough it out and just accept that the workout will be quite poor? :doh:

83 isn't terribly warm. You can definitely get used to that. 90, on the other hand, will never be comfortable to workout in.
Yes, you're right, but in the indoor setting where they CAN control the temp, it just makes sense that a lap pool should not be 83 inside. It definitely felt a hundred times better than swimming outside. Still.......it's just annoying. And people still get in the 83 degree pool and complain it's cold!
