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?

    The pool in South America was actually the pool of the military school but it was open to the public to help finance the costs. There were certain times when the military exercised in the pool and they were mostly indigenous people who grew up in the Andes and probably quite tough by nature. They were shivering as well so I guess I wasn't being a wimp to think it's freezing.
