I coach at a YMCA pool (built in 1956 and is a 20 yard pool) where the air temperature ranges around 92-95 degrees and the water temp is usually around 88 degrees. Also, there is poor ventilation because the ventilation system is not working properly. Lately I have come home after coaching with terrible headaches. I worry about our age-group swimmers too because they are working out in such warm temps. The maintenance dept and Y will not lower the temp and have not taken our complaints as a priority. Is this a dangerous situation or do I need to just grin and bear it. Please advise if anyone can help or tell me who we can alert. Thanks!

Warm water temps at the Y are solely for the athritis classes aka noodlers. These temps aren't because of tot classes at all. ...
Well... I've seen a lot of shivering blue children in the locker room of my community pool after swim classes, most of them under 5 years of age. My husband's youngest grand-daughter was a shiverer up to age eight, what with being a really skinny kid with no upholstery whatsoever.
