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.

Drive to the shore and swim in the ocean .....
It's still incredibly warm for this time of year.
We swam today and no wetsuits!
ditto.
last sunday i had a lovely 5k swim at brighton beach 66.6 degrees.
all this week have been getting into one of the lakes up here which i will not name as swimming is not permitted.....65 degrees. when the air temp is in the 80's, the h2o feels even warmer.
I'm a West Coaster who swims outdoors year-round (well, I just got back in the pool so I guess I should say that I *will* swim outdoors year-round). I'm in Maryland this weekend and swam in an indoor pool for the first time since starting back up again, and I now 100% sympathize with you cold-weather folks. I'm still feeling the chlorine in my lungs 10 hours later. I don't know how you guys do it (or how I did it as a kid). :notworthy:

Hehe, yeah, I'll tell you how we do it - I, at least, swim elsewhere ;)
