[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate swimming in cold water. I was a very talented diver but quit bc I really couldn't stand the cold water. Ended up sticking with gymnastics  and dealing with the intense summer heat (with no AC) instead.

Some people really just can't stand cold water.[/quote]

Don't divers get to sit in the hot tub in between dives? They always did when I saw them practice.[/quote]

Dive judge here! Most pools nowadays don’t allow kids under 18 in a hot tub or if they do, it’s only after a competition or practice. The club programs I know are really strict about kids doing side stations between dives and/or receiving feedback. Elite and international competitions are a different story.

Back on topic: I can swim in any temperature water for hours, and was a competitive swimmer growing up. My DH gets chattery after just a few minutes in anything less than tropical waters. My daughter had a few summer swim team teammates who were similar and they have all switched to tennis in the summer. I personally didn’t carry on with basketball because I hated the loud gyms. No reason to stick with something even more uncomfortable than that![/quote]
