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?

    The YMCA where I swim keeps the water temp at 86 degrees. I'm panting perfusely after a warm up. I swim there during lunch for a quick 1200 yards @ 25 minutes, so I bear with it. They have to keep it that warm for the water areobics class and there's not that many lap swimmers. ARGH, feels like I'm swimming in my bathtub. George www.students.uwf.edu/.../
