Thought of this while reading the "Swim Rant" thread. Okay-- totally anonymous poll: do you shower before getting in the pool for swim practice?

I know I'm sweating in water above 84F (sometimes the pool get's that hot) because when I get out my face is flush and I'm still sweating as if I ran or something. But when the water is nice and cool, when I get out no matter how hard I swam it was as if I didn't do anything.
H2O is the world's best thermal conductor, that's why radiators use water:agree:
Try weighing yourself before and after... people are always shocked to find out how much they sweat during a swim workout, even in cooler water temps
