Used to swim masters for about 6 years, that was 10 years ago. I've been back in the water doing 30-40 min, 1200-1500 yds workouts trying to maintain 4-5 times a week since about two months ago. I'm trying to get back to what I used to do in my masters' workouts 2000-3000 yds in the same time. I know that I have a long way to go to get there, but today I felt slow and weighted down.
Is there some correlation to warm water temps (80-82 degrees) combined with warm air temps (85-90 degrees) and feeling lethargic during workouts?? I felt like I was towing a sea anchor during my workout. I've felt this way before while swimming masters, but never asked anyone about it.
Thanks in advance, any info is appreciated.

80-82 isn't really warm to me. My pool occasionally gets well above that when the stupid lifeguards don't change the thermostat overnight.
But warm water is definitely more tiring. I notice that I become much more dehydrated swimming in water > 82. I run out of gas much earlier and feel far more exhausted at the end of practice.
