True story! I remember in my high school years being very competitive with swimming, our summer club used an outdoor pool at 6:00am. As if, 6 in the morning wasn't bad enough, the pool was un-heated. Early-June morning could be ROUGH! We'd take a running start to dive in and sprint the for few hundred yards to get some warmth built up. Nothing like those mornings when you'd seeing steam coming off your buddy's shoulders, when taking a break between sets.
