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.

Warm water swims are not fun. We depend on aerators down here in the swamp to keep the pools relatively cool. I can recall one season as an age group swimmer when our main pool pump went down and we were circulating water from the learn to swim pool which brought the temperature up into the upper 80s. Coaches stood on deck with garden hoses and sprayed us down between sets.
