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 get earaches if the water is too cold, so while I do prefer cooler water for workouts and meets, there is a point where it's too cold. There is one pool here in San Diego that always gave me earaches during meets. HATE that pool still. That said, having to take a cold shower after working out is ridiculous, too.
