went for my first Open Water Swim this last Saturday.... I admit I am a bit of a wimp as far as water temps are concerned....Part of the problem is the pool I swim in is kept at 84-85 degrees all the time. Per request from noodlers...(see thread in general discussion "death to all noodlers") which makes it a big difference to jump into a lake. I have been monitoring our local lakes temperature, and it has been slow to warm up this year. Saturday, although the air was 62 the water was 73. When I jumped in I had a hard time breathing.. kinda small convulsions, gasping for air....after a few minutes they went away and I had a very enjoyable swim (except for the part I looked to see my 18 yr old daughter pacing me, doing ***!)..this is the second time it has happened to me....what to do? Thanks in advance.
Yes Hoosier, "The Enchanted Forest" meet is this Sat. and Sun. at Forest Park Pool in Noblesville. Nasti's are gonna have to swim in the lake both days since Carmel and Fisher's are both closed too.
Will you be there? You could come swim with us at Morse Reservoir around 9:00 am. It should be fairly warm by Saturday.
