FINA World Cup, in the UAE off of Dubai. The water was mid-to-high 80s, which is very hot. Said to be unusually hot, swimmers said have never swam in such hot water. Oceans heating up?

Competitors all described the conditions as unusually hot, but would not comment about Crippen’s death.

“These are very hot conditions for swimming,” said Thomas Lurz of Germany, who won the men’s race.

Evgeny Drattsev of Russia, who came in second, admitted he had never competed in such warm conditions before.

“The water was really hot and it was a kind of new experience for me here,” he said.
