A "reverse pool blanket" made of this material would be great for places where swimming pools get unusably hot in summer.

Death Valley, California. I tried swimming in a pool there once and it was like swimming in a jacuzzi.

In Phoenix AZ, July/Aug/Sept pool parties are often BYOBOI (bring your own block of ice). Everybody brings a 10 lb. block of ice to throw in the pool and within an hour it's cool enough to enjoy, even in the 115F heat.

Swimming in a concrete/Pebble Tec pool in Cairns in the summer is akin to taking a warm bath...
