So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:
I was happy when I was traveling to Northern Europe last week, and had a chance to swim in water that's not hot (however it was a bit cold - still 5 - 7°C (41 - 45°F) there that I couldn't swim for more than half an hour - 12 - 15°C (54°F - 60°F) is certainly better for me).
Now everything has been over and I've returned home, where the temperature now is 23°C (73°F).
You *really* need to watch out with this cold water stuff.
