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.
Oh how I remember those summer 8:00 practices out in West Texas. The operator was always having to make up water volume lost in evaporation and a slow pool leak. Temperatures were always in the low 70s and there were always several blue-lipped shivering lane monkeys with no body fat hugging the ladder or hanging onto the gutters.
We did a 10k postal swim one summer in our masters program and I had to pull a swimmer /triathlete that was getting hypothermic. He had lost count, could not speak clearly, and had gone past the blue lips. He was unhappy to be pulled but understood why.
