After watching my new state of the art fitness center being built for over a year....closest pool otherwise is 50 minutes a way.....big day arrives....14 days pool is open 12 of them I am in it....get there Sat morning....84 degrees!! Said the theraphy pool at 88 is tool warm for water aerobics...but 80 too cold (what the lap pool was...which is still too warm for me) so they compromised with 83 or 84 degrees....I say "some compromise" more like cave in....exact words from pool person..."I swim laps all the time, and 83 feels good to me".......:(

Although it is better now, my local YMCA pool (the ONLY place to swim within 70 miles) sometimes gets up to 90 degrees. Then a workout involves just getting into the water, breathing a few times and adjourning to the sauna to cool off.
That said, this is the BEST training facility I have ever swum at, mostly because of availability of the pool and flexibility of my time.
Boy, Jim, I remember swimming in AZ in May and August. Not fun for the distance swims!
