Ever since the heater broke down and got replaced a the pool I swim in, the temperature has been running warm to hot. Lately it's been averaging 90-91.5°. I mentioned this to the management, and for 5 days the temp dropped down to between 84-86°, which felt good to me. But now it's crept back up to 90°, and I'm guessing it'll get a little warmer tomorrow.
Does anyone else out there train consistently in a 90°+ pool, and is there a temperature at which fast-paced swimming would become dangerous? If it's an issue where there's no physical danger and it's just discomfort then I can work with that, but I'm a little worried because the water feels too warm to me. Thanks.

The high school pool had to be 88 plus last night. I had no idea how hard it is to swim when its that hot. My lane mate was getting out in between sets to lie on the deck, hoping to cool off. It was tough. I'm thinking of bringing a bag of ice tonight.
