Temperatures heat up at Fitness Center pool

By Robert Pinion

     Heat has proven to be a productive way of keeping people from swimming in the Fitness Center’s pool.         Swimmers have noted that the pool was too hot to swim laps or get any kind of workout. This problem was reported last week and has been fixed by maintenance, who may have accidently forgot to turn off the heater to the pool.

     Ryan MacMillan, Oolagah freshman, a regular attendee has missed a few practices because of the drastic change in temperature.

     “It had to have been at least 89 degrees,” said MacMillan. “I’m glad it has cooled off though, I couldn’t bear to swim in that heat.”

     A pool that is hot is hard for a swimmer to get a workout in because they need cold water to make their muscles tense, so they can have longer workouts. The hotter it is, the harder it is to swim, because once the body is hot, putting it in hot water only makes for a more difficult swim.
