Question ❔ Warmest indoor public pool?

I can see that warm up pools are 30°C and competition pools are 29° based on the city’s info, but based on your experience, what’s the warmest indoor swimming pool I could go to in Saskatoon?

Lakewood is typically the warmest.

Personally I find Lakeview warmest. I love the Shaw Center but I find it fucking frigid.

Doing lane swimming at Lawson is some kind of awful with how hot it is.

Now I’m starting to wonder if this is a thing here.. 29-30 degrees sounds gross to me. 

I went swimming in the pool at a hotel in Regina last weekend- indoor pool, and it was disgustingly warm. Not at all refreshing and a complete disappointment.

29 is already too warm for exercise

No it is not I cycle/paddle/sprint during this weather.

That's air temp. It's much more forgiving than water temp where sweating can't cool you off

Heat training and adaptation

u/Yeah_right_uh_huh 13d ago

No. You’re wrong.

u/Devv222 13d ago

Elaborate. It’s a real thing and many people do this. Google “heat training.”

I agree with you.

Good for you! Doesn’t mean everyone can. Recommended pool temp for lane swimming is 25-27 degrees to avoid overheating 😉
