  • I too prefer 76 to 79 degrees, unfortunately the indoor pool that we practice at for most of the year is a nice comfy 86 degrees (for the noodlers, at least). I like to think that training in warm water somehow helps me out when I go to a meet and race in cooler water....who knows if it really does, it's at least my justification for why I continue to subject myself to training in the sauna-like conditions regularly. With the arrival of summer time, we start outdoors LC practices soon....completely looking forward to it!! :cool:
