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.
It was probably just a few weeks ago that we were complaining about the water being too warm....and now some of us (myself included) are comlaining it is too cold. The heat is starting to break here in the Phoenix area, mornings are a pleasant 75. Monday morning the aerators were on, and the water was very chilly. I'd guess the water temp is about 77 when we start at 6am.
If I'm doing a distance set, I'd rather it be a bit chilly when I get in. After warming up, and getting into our main set, it felt great. I was thankful at the end that the water was a bit cool. But if you are sprinting with long rests, it wouldn't be too pleasant.
