Early Morning At Dix Hills Pool: 8/31/06

Air temperature was 62 degrees. But, NOBODY wanted to know what the water temperature was after a week of rain and NO sunlight to heat the pool.

No matter what the temperature was, you could see from one side of the pool to the other -- and this is a 50 Meter Pool -- talk about room for swimming!
