I know USMS has this somewhere but.....I'm looking for an article, etc about what the water temperature should be for fitness swimming. Some of the ladies at my hospital-based health club are petitioning for the lap pool temp to go up to +84 degrees! It has been kept at 81-82 degrees which is ok. They want the water temp if they could up to 86 degrees! Can you direct me as to where I could find documentation that it isn't conducive to actively exercise in that warm of water? Also isn't there a higher cost for chemicals, etc? We fitness swimmers need help!:frustrated: Thanks.
The geothermal system that heats our city pool went down over the weekend. I just got done working out in 72 degree water. It's normally kept around 82-84. I sometimes complain that that is too warm. I won't be complaining for a while. At least the showers were hot. :)
