Crazy Tired Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 On 7/21/2013 at 4:02 PM, Rachel Cox said: Hi Clair, I suspect it is the high temperature of the water. You were in for half an hour which is a long time in that kind of heat. I know I would feel all those things you mention if I spent even half that length of time in water that hot. My body just can't thermoregulate effectively and it takes a very long time to get over it. Do you have a similar experience after a bath? I suspect it is about how your body handles heat. It is so frustrating when well meaning people suggest things to help that trigger other issues. Hope you find another solution.

You were in for half an hour which is a long time in that kind of heat I have had the same experience Clair. I am not terrifically deconditioned. I can walk and ride a stationary bike and do some Pilates. I thought, and my doctor thought, the pool would be good for me and that sounded reasonable. I would get out after a short swim about as dizzy as I get, nearly pass out in the shower and be unsafe driving home. I had to admit, after a while, that delightful though it felt in the water, swimming was not something I could do safely to increase my strength or cardio wellness. The pool I swam in was relatively warm, but outside. I wonder how it might work, swimming somewhere cold, like a mountain lake or the sea?
