Besides the American Red Cross. Can anyone give me some good references about indoor pool temp?
I know the Red Cross says, 78-82, is a good pool temp. Does anyone have any documentations stating other opinions. Our base pool is between 85 and 89. It feels very very warm. I can’t swim anywhere as fast or as long with it that hot. I’m looking for references to give the head goofball. OH, and it isn’t a therapeutic pool. Lap swimming, scuba diving lessons, Aqua-aerobics and a couple high school teams use it during the seasons.
thanks for any help.
The Santa Clara International Swim Center’s pool is heated to 80-83 degrees. Kids complain its too cold, but its really the perfect temperature for lap swimming.
Lap swimming in an 89 degree pool is being a little bit risky in my opinion. I personally would not want to have a heavy workout in a pool that warm due to over heating.
You’d probably save a ton of money dropping the temperature a few degrees too! Keeping a pool that warm is extremely expensive
