Hello all.
I'm looking for tips on training effectively in a high temperature pool. I have a ten second walk to the YMCA near my house (convenient!), but they keep the water temp at 83-86 degrees (unbearable!). They enforce a mandatory cap policy - so my brain is frying after the warm-up. Any way to salvage the great location?!?! Or should I shop for a new pool? Or...
join the Jazz-ercisers????
Thanks...

If you are intent on this location, maybe try a lycra cap ... at least your head will get wet. Also, spending a lot of time doing drills to perfect your stroke and/or turns can be less taxing when the temp is 86. 83 is a world of difference and much easier to swim in. Of course it is hard to plan a workout when it is dependent on the temperature when you get there.
Good Luck!
