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?
In Atlanta, Emory opens its outdoor pool on April 1. The water at that time was heated and the pool was kept covered overnight, but they have since turned off the heater and the water is quite warm on its own. Actually starting to get a little too warm. In April we had some very chilly nights so while the water temp may have been around 80 degrees there were a few early mornings where it was about 45 degrees outside. Getting to the changing rooms at the end of the workout was like running on ice!
