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".......:(

Our "Y" pool feels good getting in, but after a warm up , transition set and then sprints it gets to warm. With the shallow end at 3 ft. I stand up to cool down, sometimes I have to rest longer just to cool down to finish my sprints.
I've been swimming at our High School, the water is great!! I can keep up with the 12yrs old, LOL and when I feel my face is flushed red, I can go under the water to cool off.
So I'm doing 2 days a week at the HS hard work outs, and at the "Y "2 days a week easy to hard work outs, depending on how I feel.
You have to do what you can do, no matter what the conditions. I realized at least at the "Y" the water temp is like the weather in West Texas. If you don't like it, wait a minute it will change.
