    They did that in NEW JERSEY??!! They are used to cold winters there. Must have been the low bidder who won that plumbing contract, sheesh. You should invest in a wet suit or a rash guard top.

    Turns out that there was a power outage from the snow storm on Monday but for some reason, the system erroneously "recycled" Tuesday night, shutting the power off in the building. This is a brand new facility, completed in July. I guess we were lucky that it was back on by 5:15, when the pool opened.

    The good news: it was toasty warm on the deck and in the shower today. I took a steaming hot shower after my swim..... The pool water wasn't quite as warm as usual but it was bearable. I got in a 90 minute swim.

    It is only one thing in a long list of things they screwed up when they built the pool. A very long list.
