Tomorrow morning it's supposed to be 31 degrees. My pool is heated. Is it a problem to pool run if it's 31 degrees outside? I have a membership to a club with an indoor pool about 20 minutes away, but that would mean l would have to get up earlier in the morning.
Do you have the money to heat it in that weather? It shouldn't be a problem.
PS. I love your city. My uncle lives there.

Thanks! Yes l do, but the wind is kicking too and l am wondering if getting in and out the pool plus the wind might effect me. Is there a number that even a heated pool is not a good idea in certain weather?

How did Rojo know what city you're in?
Is it an extremely long walk from your house to your pool? Because you would have to have a huge yard for the walk back from the pool to be dangerously cold, even wet from the pool.
The only possible concern would be if it is very windy and cold that you might get frostbite on your ears or nose during the pool workout. But your head will be very low down and presumably partially blocked from the wind by some sort of landscaping or fence, so shouldn't be a problem? If windchill is much below freezing, you might want a headband to protect your ears. Just keep getting it wet with warm pool water and you won't get frostbite. "Run" facing away from the wind to protect your nose and lips.
If it isn't windy, none of that matters and i think you could handle it as low as 0 F without worrying about frostbite, since again you can just keep occasionally dunking your head if your ears feel cold.
Swimmers swim in heated outdoor pools when it’s in the 20s and 30s all the time. The only risk is slipping on the icy deck. I have a fleece jacket and flip flops on for the long walk out.

...I wouldn't do it, just because of getting in and out. When I was at FSU there was a rec center in Tallahassee which had synchronized swimming and they were out there all winter in a heated pool. Lowest temps were around 30.
The air temperature is almost irrelevant unless you plan on lounging around outside before and after your swim. You're not swimming in air.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
