78 or 79 degrees! So lucky! That is perfect for swimming! The WeHo pool has been about 84 degrees!

E-Godz - that's impossible to sprint in and it's expensive to keep it that hot. Why so hot?

Hey will you guys have a meet this year?

Hi Tony -

That is NOT a sprint workout - not even close. I think you said you are going to swim meets this spring - so please come over to LMU on Sunday morning and feel the pain of a true sprint set.
