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".......:(

No, trust me, this is only option....the local high school pool only has lap swim on Monday, Open Swim Wed nites....My other option is totally awesome, go to Notre Dame (45 miles away) where Mr. Saylors keeps it a very refreshing ~78...this is only a four lane lap pool, no swim teams or meets being held here.....but if you guys can tough it out, so can I, will make those Sunday swims with my Masters Club (GO IA!) that much more enjoyable...... I am going to look up the costs associated with the higher temps. because If I remember right, it uses more chemicals as well.... This is just such a great facility, guess you cant have it all.
Thanks all,
