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.

  • I prefer cool water for lap swimming or workouts - something that makes me shiver a bit when I get in, so I have to jump around on deck first to warm up the system. So, if you are unsuccessful in getting water nearer your desired temp, I do think some on-deck exercises will help. VB :groovy: (like this )
