After watching my new state of the art fitness center being built for over a year....closest pool otherwise is 50 minutes a way.....big day arrives....14 days pool is open 12 of them I am in it....get there Sat morning....84 degrees!! Said the theraphy pool at 88 is tool warm for water aerobics...but 80 too cold (what the lap pool was...which is still too warm for me) so they compromised with 83 or 84 degrees....I say "some compromise" more like cave in....exact words from pool person..."I swim laps all the time, and 83 feels good to me".......:(

Water temp is tricky -- trying to please all the people all the time . . . --
I just left a Y that had an aquatic director & assistant director who were both non-swimmers! They can't stand to even get in with the swim lessons -- I reckon that they have too much paper to push - anyway, they couldn't grasp the concept that to have a good aerobic workout, you need to have the water cooler 80 - 82 and certainly not 85!
The facility has a warm water pool kept at 89 and a hot tub - so my point to them was that you don't need all the pools hot all the time. They decided to cater to the fanny dunking crowd and left everyone else behind (3 swim teams, multiple water classes, lap swimmers, etc.). I left them behind and have found a much better facility.
