Depressed outdoor East coast swimmer

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.

    Oh, I hear you! I forgot to mention that -- everyone thinks I spend all my time on some exotic beach - they don't believe me when I tell them it's because I swim 4000 yards a day outside. So, it actually went down to 40 in Miami at night? :confused: I didn't think it got that cold. Did they shut off the heat in the summer I hope? That's what I hate about vacationing in Florida - it will be 85 out, sun is blazing, and the !@#$#() pool is heated! I could swim inside if I wanted to be overheated while swimming. Makes no sense to me at all. The heater was definitely off in the summer. It was mostly off in the winter too. :( As for the hot pool issue, you have to understand that Floridians like it bathwater temp. I don't think my mom will dip a toe in a body of water unless it's well above 80 degrees. It got cold at least a couple of times each winter. The temperature pretty much holds steady at around 72 degrees from December to February, unless a cold front comes in and the temp dips down to the high 40s overnight/low 50s. I remember some days when it would get into the 30s at night, but those were few and far between.
