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:

that sucks
many outdoor pools in TX use aerators, they shoot water up in the air and it cools as it falls back in the pool
Find another pool
No CAP
swim easy
Take breaks, even get out & take cool showers
do a few sprints
take longer breaks
bring ice water or frozen sport drinks to drink & douse
request pool managers do something
Request to have a running hose near your lane to cool where you rest or spray cool water on yourself
