I have been really good and taking time off my 500....except for today...I Was extremely slow. My other times were from a colder pool than the one I swam in today which was rather warm.
Does the water temperature matter this much...I could have had an off day but alot of people on my team also had slower times in the same pool.
Whats the ideal water temperature?

Say WHAT?!? Anything above 82 is getting into uncomfortably hot territory. (Then again, I'm someone who heats up quickly, and cools off slowly. I know another swimmer who does not want *any* break between sets, as he gets too cold.)
