The water temperature of our outdoor pool was 75 degrees this morning (air temp of 76). We worked out with the age groupers and it was a real struggle--never did feel right. Couldn't go inside because that would have been a sign of weakness, especially knowing that my daughter was in the pool. Today I actually felt my age. I don't remember it being that difficult. Maybe I just need more body fat. Pass the Twinkies, Geek.

I remember hearig in the 1970s that the Olympics water temp was around 76 degrees F . I think I had a panic attack.
BTW, there is a difference between the water temp at the Olympics and the water temp at the OTC. They choose 80.1 at the OTC because the elite swimmers with very little body fat are in that water for hours on end. In any olympic race they're in there only for the duration of a race.
