How warm can water be to swim a hard workout in and when does it become a health hazard?

Relief is on the way, cold front went through here last night, and the high will be 75!
But Dorothy, you are lucky because if you swam at the Y in Champaign, the water is relatively cool. In Galesburg, our Y keeps the water at least at 84 degrees. Monday it was 86 degrees. All the old ladies were saying how wonderful it was as I was about dead. I think the air temp inthe pool was 91!
