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.

My pool is kept at about 84°. Occasionally it's warmer. That temp is a compromise between those that want a cold pool and the older water exercise people who want a warm pool. It's cooler only when the heating system goes down. :bliss:
I have become used to swimming in a warm pool but still don't like it. I drink lots of water during a workout and about half of the ice water in my bottle gets poured over my head. I will also take longer rest intervals when I feel hot.
