[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is part of being a swimmer. Yes it’s cold. They get used to it. Make sure to teach them what to do if they get a muscle cramp so they don’t freak out in the water. [/quote]

This is my kids 4th year of swimming (in other states) but they have never swum in an unheated/cold pool. What do you do for a muscle cramp? They love swimming and summer swim but I think they will refuse. I don’t blame them. Can they wear wet suits? What do people do?[/quote]

No people don’t wear wet suits. They swim to warm up.  I’m seriously shocked by this discussion. It’s cold at the beginning of baseball. Soccer plays in the pouring rain. I don’t see how a cold start to summer swim is any different. [/quote]

The younger ones do, especially new to swimming.  Older don't  Soccer and swimming are very different.  [/quote]

I have a baseball player and a soccer player who both do summer swim.  They both put on extra clothes when it's really cold on the diamond or pitch.

Also, little kids don't play soccer in the pouring rain.  They don't start playign in the pouring rain till they're old enough to be prioritized for the turf fields, but which point they are running most of the game (and wearing something warm in between).  [/quote]
