I'm curious as to your preference, so I decided to start a poll. I've been swimming outdoors all summer. It's been brutally hot, with high humidity most of the summer, which I notice, causes more fatigue and cramping, despite my intake of bananas, lots of water, etc. I also have allergies. There are the usual outdoor pool issues, but aside from that, if you had a choice to swim in a 25 yard pool or swim indoors in a more temperature controlled environment, what would you prefer and why?
I much prefer swimming outside than inside. Even in winter when it can be tough getting from pool to locker room...I still very much prefer an outside pool. Especially when I can sneak outside for a noon swim workout.
I'm moving in a few months and noticed that there's several masters teams in town. The fact that some swim indoors and some outside will definitely influence which team I eventually join (together with location, overall facilities, coach, workout times, and other swimmers).
