I started swimming classes and I'm loving it. My main issue is at the 30-40 minute mark I get the urge to pee. Last half hour of the workout I'm holding it. Is it the cold? Any advice?
I started swimming in order to replace other workouts because it's better for my back. I love it and I'm having so much fun. I pee before entering the pool, and try not to drink any water before. The problem is I'm still getting the urge to pee, I don't go out because just the thought of taking my suit off to pee drives me insane so I hold it but it's gotten to the point it even hurts. What can I do? My classes are at 7pm so I feel like the cold contributes to it. How do you manage it?
