    What is the point in even having the water this hot? Don't see how people can say training in hot weather is the same as swimming in a hot pool. Totally different thing. I hope everyone can work together on this one. I'm not big into competitions, not quite there yet, but would gladly do what I can to help support those who don't want to compete in this.
