using their pool this time of year? At 5 am this morning, the outside temp was 34 degrees and the water temp was 49 degrees. Like slipping into a hot tub.

 

[DWC]

Big no here. Holy shit. Big fan of 75-80 degree pools myself

 

[rvrrun]

Yeah, using it to hold a bunch of cold-ass water.

I vacuumed it yesterday. Painful putting my hands in the water to connect the vacuum hose! I was extra careful to not fall in!

49 degrees gives you full retraction.

nope, looks like a swamp. I pretty much ignore that thing after September ends.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Only when I need to ice my feet after a tough day at work. Numb in about 5 minutes.

I'm in my warm bed at 5 in the morning...except for this Wed...I have to be at LAX at 6

 

[rmarion]

OS, if I jumped in our pool.. 53 Air, 58 pool, I'd probably lock up and sink to the bottom.... similar to yesterday experience..LOL

PS hot tub - 102... I'm going in!!!!!!!!!!

After starting your day by taking a couple laps in a really cold pool, the rest of the day can only be better.
But seriously, since I began doing this at the end of last year I’ve physically felt better. Besides REALLY waking your ass up, it seems to helps with the aches and pains. It’s also a good mental exercise. I began doing it after hearing Adam Carolla talk about it. It’s a poor mans cryotherapy.

You don't look as bad in a thong as I'd imagined

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I cleaned out my skimmer today, the coldness was unbearable.. lol

 

[rrrr]

My pool has a bunch of oak leaves in it, been too lazy to clean 'em out.

That will get yore attention.

 

[Bear Down]

51 degrees for my pool in Upland.. Couldn't put my hand in there for more than 1 minute before going into a seizure.... DAMN COLD...
but on a positive note, we had a get together over the weekend and put a whole bunch of 2 liters in the pool to do a quick cool down for cocktails.. Worked like a charm....

Dang that is cold. I was surprised that Havasu was colder the last couple of day than it is here in SF today.

 

[Ziggy]

FWIW......That's about what the water temps are at base of Hoover mid-summer.
.
I would use the jacuzzi if we were in Havasu.

 

[oldschool]

Air temp was 33 and water temp 51 at 5 this morning. It was so nice I took two laps today.

There are definitely some health benefits to what yore doing

I hope so or it’s an exercise in stupidity. Not sure if it’s just in my head, but all my little aches and pain have gone away.

Big part of Navy Seals BUDS and other elite training is done in cold ocean water. Some of that is to reduce swelling, squeeze out lactic acid, and help the body heal from the grueling training. Not everyone catches on to that

LOL I just bought a shorty wetsuit for snorkeling in during our dive trip and the water is supposed to be 82.
I hate cold water
