I work for a health club and we keep our lap pool temperature between 78-80 degrees. Recently, my boss requested some sort of article or authoritative piece justifying the temperature. I know I have seen articles in the past on 78-80 degrees being the best temperatures for lap swimming, but it was several years ago.
Does anyone know of an article they have read commenting on this? Any help or direction would be fantastic. Thanks!

Oh Aquageek, our indoor competition pool, which is used more by swim classes, aerobics, family swim, is maintained at 80/81/82 max and the lap swimmers are not 'organized.' The indoor pool is still undergoing reinovation and won't be openned until the end of December (at least thats the rumor). They have begun to heat the outdoor competition pool, which is again shared by every group, to a max of 82.
