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.

Well, the water was a little better yesterday, and even better today (funny how 86° can feel "better", but compared to 90°…). Talked with the person in charge of the pool temp. and he said that they're trying to get the heater to work properly. Yeah, the water walkers and talkers thought it was just great. My wife teaches adult swim classes and they had to bail because the water was too warm for a few of them. I guess we'll just wait and see. I'll quit my belly-aching and cowboy up for now :-)
