i feel the cooler the water, the better (within reason of course!) so upper 70's is probably optimal in my world. fortunately, swimming at a university, the pools are kept cooler for the varsity teams, so we benefit from that immensely. although, during their season, you can always tell when meets are coming, because the water is definitely on the cooler side of comfortable. this also helps get rid of some of the noodlers- there's one pool on campus that the varsity teams don't use that's kept at sauna-like temps. so the noodlers tend to hang out there instead of taking up room in the good pools! :cool:
