Cool Pool

The Rec. Center was closed all last week for maintenance and they drained the pool and it was re-filled last Thursday.  I went swimming Saturday when they opened and that pool was COLD; lower 70's. I'm sure it was as cold as Lake Superior if you have ever been in that lake you would know how cold it was.  I like warm water; 86 is ideal, I think they keep the pool at the Rec. Center at 84 which I tolerate. I warm up once I get exercising. 
I skipped yesterday; giving it one more day to warm up.  Went this morning; FREEZING.  The power had been off yesterday and the center was closed.  I swam/walked for 20 minutes; it made my ears ache underwater.  Then I warmed up in the hot tub and high-tailed it home to my own hot tub :)
