What would you consider as TOO cold? In South America there is one indoor pool in the Andes I used to go to when I lived there which was brand new and a great pool, except that they couldn't afford to heat up the water to around 79-80 degrees. They argued that every degree more costs too much money per month that they didn't have. The average temperature was around 68-70 degrees(20-21 Celsius). I trained there for several month but no matter how hard I trained, I was always freezing. Would you say that is definitely too cold or is it an individual thing?

  • I'd consider it too cold.I consider anything 75 and below too cold. The pool where I workout had it's heater break a couple of years ago and I worked out in a thin wetsuit until it was fixed.Some people thought I was a wimp,but I noticed most of them quit coming regularly for awhile.
