(swam August 28, 2013)
Location: Western YMCA, Wilmington, DE, SCY Outdoor Pool
Time: 12:30-1:20 pm (yes another express swim with limited time)
Another day of rushing around. My son with Autism had a Speech Eval that morning. So after his appointment, drove him across town to get him to school, had to go get my Iphone looked at. Was told internal water damage. Ha? What? Wonder if me throwing it in my swim bag had anything to do with it? Nah....
So anyway, I was rushed and stressed out. Hate swimming feeling this way. Guess it just life! Wonderful, cooler water temp. Love this pool.

Do you have a water thermometer? That's a neat little toy to throw in your swim bag. It's strange the pool may be feel cold at 77 or lower, but in open water, that same temp feel toasty. Anyway reporting the temperatures of swims will program your mind that cold = good, hot = uncomfortable. I'm jealous of anyone who finds a pool that is willing to consistently keep it at a temperature lower than 80.
ReplyDeleteWater damage. Swimmers worst enemy with electronics. Been there. Sorry.
