Cold pools

I have been swimming in the pool at my new school and the pool is kept somewhere in the low 70's. Since I moved from my hometown to school I haven't been swimming as frequently as I was before, still twice a week at least. Does anyone know if a cold pool effects your ability, my times are slower and I never seem to get warmed up during a workout.

    the water heater broke one time at my ymca and it was in the low 70's aswell. I thought that the cold water made me tired faster. You need to tell them to heat it up. Unless you are training for open water there is no reason for the pool to be that cold.
