Pool temp

I swim at a private pool that always keeps the water at 78-79 degrees. It seems a couple of degrees to cold. Can anyone tell me if there is a posting of optimal poo, temps for competition? Olympics or Masters?

  • For Masters National Championships the water temperature must be between 78 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also required for all other Masters pool competitions, however for non-national championships this requirement can be waived. USA-Swimming has the same 78 to 80 degree standard. I think this is also the FINS and Olympic standard.
