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!

Mark,
I got somewhere with the pool management. The temp was at 30 ' C (86 ' F) for a few months in the summer.
The temp now is now around 28.5' C (83' F). Somedays it gets much warmer around 29'C (84'F). We are never down to 27'C (81'F) though.
The pool IS too warm to do a big workout though, so I am making the best of it for now.
Are you going to be at Sheffield for the Masters Nationals ?
