The pool was 85 degrees today. The motor on the exhaust fans is broken and won't be fixed until the pool closes in the summer. We can't open the outside doors on school days for safety reasons. School is still in session, so the gym teachers still have a say and frankly, are listened to more than an extra-curricular swim coach. SHUT UP ABOUT IT! :bitching: Constantly whining about the temperature of the water is not accomplishing anything. There is nothing anyone can do about it. The coach is constantly in contact with the custodians and the superintendent about the issue. SUCK IT UP OR STAY HOME. Look at the positives....1. They let us in at 5:15 AM 2. They do an amazing job of keeping the water crystal clear all the time! 3. We have the luxury of swimming long course, indoors, in April, in Pennsylvania! Phew. I feel better now. Thanks.
Too hot not only makes me feel sluggish, but I truly get nauseous and frequently get a headache even if its not hot enough for the nausea. And I agree w/knelson, if you train in warm water, the meet pool then usually just feels glorious!
+1. Same here on all accounts. The key for me is to keep hydrated (before and during swim) and take more rest than usual. We also will cut distance set intensity and focus more on technique stuff.
