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!
Mr Ed - I think you've found the wrong forum to rant about pool water being too cool. Most of us are serious swimmers, not noodlers, and think that 83 degrees is way too warm.
I'm not sure why you even brought this complaint to this discussion forum. It has been documented time and again that hot water is not good for a decent workout. The only thing hot water is good for is a hot tub or a cup of coffee/tea.
You're right, we may be knuckleheads but notice how the only person who is agreeing with you is you. I agree with Michael Heather below. If the water is too cool, try actually doing some phycial activity. That should solve the problem.
