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".......:(

My pool is usually very warm for the people doing rehab work. Ice water helps, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be much that helps. On especially hot days, I usually do drills only or sets of 25 sprint/75 easy and avoid anything involving endurance. I have thought about trying to create some sort of belt with places to stick ice packs, but I don't think that would go over too well with the lifeguards - but actually the lifeguards just sit there reading, so they might not even notice.
