I know it is incredibly uncomfortable but is it dangerous? I swim at my company pool, they recently increased the temperature to 32 degrees Celsius (90F) from 28 (82F), the air temperature has remainded constant at about 84. I usually swim 4000-5000 meters but with the increased temperature I am having trouble finishing 3K. I feel like I am swimming in pudding, I hope it is the heat and not me just looking for an excuse to cut my workout short.
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for workouts to try at this crazy temperature. I have been doing a lot of kick sets ask quickly as possible in the hope of creating a breeze for my exposed head.. it doesn't really help very much.
I think you need to ask your company what in the name of Sam Hill they are thinking. Unless you work for a company of blue haired noodlers there is no reason whatsoever to have a pool this hot. I don't know if it's dangerous (ask Gull80) but it sure as heck has to be miserable.
I will say if you are swimming 4-5K in this soup, you have my admiration for dedication to the sport. I'd have long since given up and quit.
