Cold pool!

In about a week and a half, I will have to stop swimming in the nice warm indoor pool and start swimming in the cold outdoor pool. The indoor pool is over 80 degrees with air 75-80, and the outdoor pool is closer to 65? (not heated) with air 70-75 most days. Is there anything I can do to make the transition easier? Cold showers, maybe? Or will it just be miserable no matter what?

  • We go through this every year at our pool here. We swim outside year-round, it is heated in the winter. When they first shut off the heater a few weeks ago, it was definitely noticeable. Now they have started using the aerators at nights, and the water is pretty crisp when you first get in. However, in a few weeks when the heat really hits, I'm sure we'll be wishing the water was this cool. In summer, our water can easily hit 85-88, making a workout difficult.
