SO YOU THINK THE WATER’s COLD

 Have you ever thought that the water is too cold to train or race in.  Do you know why it always feel cold or a little uncomfortable at first.  Well your body temperature is about 98.6 so most bodies of water are always going to feel cold at first but as you begin to move you start heating up your muscles and core temperature and the water becomes tolerable.   Might be the reason coaches try to keep swimmers moving.

I saw this clip about ice swimming this morning and thought of you all on those days when you tell the coaches the water is too cold.  Check it out and oh be careful the next time you tell me it’s too cold.
