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:

Hey Ande and Marksman, thanks for the info and tips. I know our university pool is quite cool, but unfortunately, it's quite a hike for me, and the hours aren't that great either. I have two colleges that are 15 mins from me, but the water temp (other than for swim meet season) is between 81-83 as well. I may bring that article to the GM at my fitness center. I know one of our attorney members has already alerted them to the swimmer who died while swimming in water that was too warm. When lap swimmers complain enough, they drop the temp for a week or two, then the noodlers and blue heads complain, and its back up to 83. It's a no win situation.
