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?

  • Our pool manager finally realized that we shouldn't be swimming in 83-degree water, especially when the days get up to 99 degrees. Now, it's a comfortable 78. If I loved workout, I'd stay in the pool all day. But I'm a sprinter. So I'm out as soon as possible. Last summer the pool was being aerated when we got in at 6 a.m. and most likely was being aerated after the last workout in the evening.
