Competitive & fitness swimming, training 26-28. Recreational swimming 27-29. Leisure waters 28-30. Children's teaching 29-31. Babies, young children, disabled & infirm 30-32. So 29C sounds normal or possibly even a bit cool for some. This is based on: edlc.co.uk/pdf/PWTAG%20CodeofPractice1.13v5_000.pdf I know I have been in fitness pools at 27C and it is cool when you get in but OK once you are moving about. | |

That seems a bit on the cool side to me... our pool only gets up barely above that in the summer and even when temperatures hit 100F it still seems cold after being in it for very long. That's almost 15F below body temperature, and water is a much better conductor of heat than air. | |

| Jun 27, 2016 at 17:30 | comment | added | njzk2 | that's almost 29C! that's very hot! | |
