Indoor pool water temperature

What would you consider as TOO cold? In South America there is one indoor pool in the Andes I used to go to when I lived there which was brand new and a great pool, except that they couldn't afford to heat up the water to around 79-80 degrees. They argued that every degree more costs too much money per month that they didn't have. The average temperature was around 68-70 degrees(20-21 Celsius). I trained there for several month but no matter how hard I trained, I was always freezing. Would you say that is definitely too cold or is it an individual thing?

    I used to train in an outdoor pool that was quite cold but for some reason that was more tolerable than in the indoor pool. At first I thought I'd get used to the cold water but instead I started to develop a dry cough.
