Yes - if the water is cold, you tend to swim faster because its colder and the cold makes the muscles tense up so you want to get out of the pool - if its hot, you might get relaxed and then you won't swim as fast.

∙ 15y agoIf the water is cold enough it can cause a persons muscles to tighten making it more difficult to swim.
If the water is too warm your muscles loosen and you can become overheated and get tired. The average pool temperature for competitive swimming is 78F

∙ 13y agoIn theory, yes as cold water is more dense than warmer water thus you will float higher in the water which will enable you to swim faster. At the extremes other factors will come into play such as hypothermia
However, cold water cause the body to restrict blood flow to the extremities, ie the arms and legs, protecting the vital organs. Reduction in blood flow to the muscles leads to a reduction in performance.

∙ 13y agoYes, but the effect should be minimum.
As water cools it becomes more dense, Meaning that there is more mass per volume. As a boat moves through a given volume it must displace some of the water. Since ( F = M * a ) the boat must exert a certain force to move an amount of water. If there is more mass in that certain volume the boat must exert more force, thereby slowing the boat.

Can a 18x48 quick set vinyl pool be winterized?
No. The vinyl becomes too brittle at cold temps and will crack with ice or weight of the water.
How warm will an unheated pool likely get in Florida in Jan Feb Mar it is a 21 ft salt water pool has a solar cover and is screened in?
Well it all depends...usually in Florida the day temps are warm but the nights are cold and thats what makes the water cold. The water temps are usually in the 50s and maybe low 60s at the beaches so it would probably range from 55-65 degrees in a unheated pool. March may get alittle warmer but still could be in the 60s in the unheated pool which is cold for me
When you have a cold and you jump in a cold pool will it make it worst?
no u will just be wet
Are certain lanes faster in lap pools?
It depends. I usually go faster in the middle lanes than on the end lanes What will make a lane faster is depth and closeness to walls, both impacting how the waves caused by swimmers disperse and break. The deeper the pool and farther from the wall, the faster the lane. Also, temperature makes a difference. Generally, colder pool= faster. Partly cause colder is denser and thusly you have more to push against and then the psychological aspect of being cold seems to make people move quicker.
Does non permament hair dye come out in the swimming pool?
Yes and the swimming pool will make it fade much faster.
Is there any research on swimming pool temps?
The swimming pool temp should be 26 - 27 degree cent
How could you warm up a cold pool?
You can warm up a cold pool buy buying a pool heater
How can you make your nipples On your chest pointer?
Flick them, get cold like in a cold pool or super hot like in a shower. Or when u are horny they'll get hard (if you are a girl)
Will longer swimming pools make swimmers faster?
Not unless a person had been trained properly in order to swim the longer course of a pool. it comes from experience if they are training in a longer pool they they can increase speed and make there times come down but if they are first just starting a long pool then no it will not make them go faster in fact it Will actually slow them down! it comes from experience i swim competitively and coach as well as teach swim lessons!
Does water evaporate from a salt pool faster than from a chlorine pool?
If by chlorine pool, you mean a pool filled with fresh water that uses chlorine (or bromine) as a sanitizer, then the question really is: Is a salt water pool faster than a fresh water pool? If by "faster", you mean ability to swim fast, then the answer is the salt water pool. A swimmer floats higher on salt water, therefore there is less water contacting less surface area on the swimmer's body, therefore, there is less resistance and a person could swim faster in a salt water pool. The salinity in a salt water pool is so minimal (maybe 1/6th to 1/12th the salinity of the ocean) the boyancy difference between a fresh water and salt water pool is minimal, if even measurable. However, swim times are measured in such small fractions of a second, the difference would be measurable in say Olympic type events, but not in your local swim club or school pool. Both answers above make good observations. I must say, though, that I disagree with the conclusion of the first. Having more surface area exposed makes for more drag, not less. Submarines are faster than surface ships and porpoises are faster under water than they are on the surface, right?
Why do kids pee in the pool?
because they want it warm no imma kid and I no the coldness of the pool is COLD so we can mange the body temp so we pee and make it warm from persanol experience
