i dont know why some people like swiming while its raining.
today here is a rainy sunday and some of my friends had gone for swiming.
its already so cool here and the heavy rain is going on.
so why do they prefer swiming on this condition and how do they enjoy it?
do you like it?

I know it's weird but I think I'm one of the persons who like to swim while it's raining. lol. It will be cold at first, but as soon as your body gets used to it, you'll no longer feel it. So everytime I go for a swim, I always wish it would rain. I don't know but there's this indescribable happiness you feel when you bathe in the rain and even more fun when you're swimming. It's really fun! Try it so you'll know what I mean. =)

The water in a pool is usually cold at first no matter if it's raining or not... But I know what ya mean about the feeling of being in a pool when it's raining, or even just showering or something (inside of course) when it's raining.

No its not psychological. The rainwater is colder than the pool water. But the pool water is not warmer than when it is not raining. So your body temperature will increase while staying IN the pool when it is raining.

Public pools are often less crowded when it's raining just for the fact that it's already raining so it's going to be cooler, well sometimes. Humidity after rain can get ya so that might be when more people start heading to pool. I've not been to the pool in years and it's not bothered me all that much either way.

Yes I like it. Because I won't get sunburned. XD And that's the only time I can bathe in the rain, makes me feel closer to nature. If I do it on the streets I would look like a lunatic. Right? lol

I do not like that too . Because it will be cold in the water , which could make me be ill . And it may be dangerous to swim in heavy rain . Therefore I never go to swim in that weather .

Hmm...sounds interesting, i didn`t tried so far. But i have a friend ho lives at the sea-side, and told me that is nicer to swim when it`s raining, than when it`s not raining. Sounded a bit weird but also interesting, so, maybe in near future i will experience that.

I like it because it cools down the water and just feels like you're at a water park with all the water falling down on you. As long as there's no lightning I think it's great! It feels like you're in one of those commercials for 5-Gum
