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!

I'm a big baby in my middle years. I don't like the 85 to 86 degree water nor do I like the 78 and below. 78 and below and I have to swim 200 yards just to get use to it. I like in-between around 81 to 82. That's higher than most people here like but I think its a comprise with the different people who use the pools.
