I can't believe the summer is over - why do our outdoor pools all close on Labor Day? It's going to be hotttttt all week and now I'm forced to go indoors. I went indoors today--dimly lit, overheated air and the water temp was 82! My already dark mood plummeted to near postal. I am soooo depressed - anyone else feeling the blues? :cry:I may have to "crash" an outdoor pool in my area that may still stay open, but I get a little nervous doing that as I get older.
I live in the SF Bay area and so I figure I'll give the other side of the coin's perspective. Most pools in my area are outdoors, and though they close for recreational swimming in late October, some remain open year-round for lap swimming (as is the case for the pools used by the two local Masters teams). Yes, these pools are heated. But I'm not looking forward to having to run to and from the locker room to the pool when the air temp is in the high 30's/low 40's (it does get that cold overnight/early in the morning out here). Already there have been days in the 50's and that's been chilly enough to make me *almost* wish for an indoor pool! :eek:
