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!

for my point, i will disregard the temp of the air and water and comment on ventilation.
chlorine exposure is bad. even if the levels of chlorine in the water are within safe limits, inadequate ventilation can lead to unsafe levels in the air (and to date, i have never seen a lifeguard or anyone else test the air quality before a swim session)
