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...

I remember training as a kid with a Canadian coach (fantastic coach) who had a theory: the hotter the water the harder you work, and thus when you hit cold water in a meet you'd fly through the water and tire less. The sensation was just so. Technically, I don't know if there is rhyme or reason to this, but perhaps traing in hot (logically denser) water you may have an advantage.
Also, I think you adapt to working out in hotter water and get to know if you overheating (when you start steaming through your lycra cap!)
