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?

    Hot pool water is one of my pet peeves. Fortunately, the pool I usually swim in is kept around 80º :). But it closes for maintenance for two weeks every summer and I have to use a nearby Y pool that's kept around 86º. I'm glad the pool's available, but that temperature gets me too tired, too quickly for a good workout.
