Aparently the water was about 18 C or about 64 F on the day which isn't too bad. The sea water around these parts can get down to 11 C or 51 F. The pool was quite large and I think it's olympic size. Turkish When I lived in Canada I only went swimming a few times. I guess I'd been spoilt by living in Australia and I didn't like the idea that I only had about 2 minutes in the water before I die. The whole pool area was beautiful and best of all, free! Donald

Living on an island in the Atlantic, I don't go near the water unless I'm nearing heatstroke. Beautiful picture. The way the railings come out of the water looks very surreal. -Turkish Prawn Cold is relative. Living on an island in the Atlantic, I don’t go near the water unless I’m nearing heatstroke.

Bloody cold! It's winter here and other people in the water had wetsuits on. “What is the temp of the water?”
