My indoor pool has 3 double doors that lifeguards (1 in particular) insist on opening b/c they are "hot". All the toasty warm air goes out the doors and water temp drops. Generally, our weather here has been in the 60's, windy, cloudy, and allergies are bad. When I asked them to shut the doors, the new excuse is ventilation. An email had gone out weeks ago about the great HVAC system they installed, so I questioned if opening these doors is helping or hurting the HVAC's job. Pool manager then switched to the excuse that "I don't know, just following the recommendations of the Health Inspector." What the? I hate swimming just to stay warm but I'm also concerned about proper ventilation.
Not sure about your pool's HVAC system, but I know the college pool here in town (50M x 25Y) has a temperature controlled system. So opening doors because people are "hot" might provide temporary, immediate relief, but actually will long term exacerbate the issue because letting the hot air out lowers the temperature which tells the heating controls to pump more warm air in which raises the temperature inside even higher when the doors do end up being closed. Honestly, part of being a lifeguard at a pool is being hot. Another part is expecting to get wet. Maybe find out what the health inspector actually says?
