I need some advice from those that train in warm water temps (85 degrees and above) and go to meets where the water temp is 78. This is usually quite a shock to my body and can cause my muscles to tighten up. Any advice on how to acclimate to cooler water temps before the meet?
There are only 2 indoor pools in a 30 mile radius and both pools are kept at about 87. I have no choice but to train in this and complaining to the management about the high temps seems to make no difference
Surely somebody out there has trained in water temps over 85 and swam in a meet in 78. Would like to hear how your body reacted to the difference in temp and any ideas on how to minimize the shock.
Seventy-eight is by no means "cold," but when you train in 87 it is a big difference.
Love to hear some tips and I promise I won't hit anybody with my rolling pin.
