I must be getting old, I have only entered my outdoor lap pool once since it opened on Memorial Day weekend. The water was 74, but the air temp was 80. Nights have dipped into the 40's and this morning, I planned to give it a try, however, it was 64 degrees and very windy, cloudy and the water temp was only 70. I should mention that no one was in the pool either. Every summer I run maniacly to the sports stores in hopes of finding a wetsuit that feels NOTHING like a wetsuit and come home empty handed.
So, who's swimming outdoors now, with or without a wetsuit, and what are your water temps?
I am in the Philly area and have been swimming outdoors a few times already but the Y that I swam outdoors in is heated so it wasn't an issue. The only problem was when we were swimming outside and the air temp was 55 degrees. When our group got done our workout, we grabbed our stuff and booked into the building. In the water, it was warm.
Tomorrow, I will swim outside in a non-heated outdoor pool so I am not looking forward to the cold water. No, I don't use a wetsuit. Our coaches say that the water temp is 70 degrees at the pool.
