"the water was a lot colder, at 56 degrees, or 24 degrees colder than the water in an Olympic pool."I haven't been in a competitive swimming pool for more than 50 years, but that certainly wasn't the temperature then. Our pool was kept at 68 degrees. It was a bit chilly to get into. The rational was that it kept you cool so you wouldn't sweat so much (yes, you do sweat in a swimming pool), and that would reduce dehydration in the long races.
