I got in the pool out back, a process taking approximately 13.79 hours of inching down the steps, and I swam the length of the pool a few times. My lips are still blue from the cold. I am convinced that persons who enjoy swimming have actually undergone a secret medical procedure whereby all sensations of temperature are permanently blocked. Gotta say, though: my feet don't hurt while I'm in there. (Not that I can feel anything at all while I'm in there.)

Some of us have extra insulation.

Just plop yourself in all at once and get it over with! ;)

You should wire up the solar panels to warm up the pool :-)

Pools should not be cold!

Either that, or they grew up someplace where the air, and thus the water, wasn't freezing cold all the time. *sigh*

You didn't ask for MAS but...

If the pool out back isn't heated, then it must be very cold, because it's been pretty cold all spring. You might try a heated pool or an indoor pool. Then if you like it, you can look into a heater for the pool out back.

Tim and I were just talking about my competetive swimming career today.

From the time I was 10 until I was 18, I worked out in a swimming pool for 4 hours a day, 6 days a week - 5:30-7:30 AM, 6:30 - 8:30 PM. Competition and workout temperature of the pool was, if I remember correctly, somewhere around 78F. This is *not* warm, and when diving in at the 5:30 AM workout, it was fucking *cold*.

However, if your pool is not heated, it's likely colder than that, considering the recent weather.

I *love* swimming. But I'm weird :).
