Pool temperature

I like 82-84 but the kids go in when it is 70. I just installed a heat pump end of last season so no more 70 degree days for us. When I was young I use to swim in a river that was always around 60-65, but not now.

My wife, mother and mother-in-law really like it in the mid 80's. I like it between 75-82 and when it gets close to 88-89 I feel like I'm sweating in the pool, but I swim and move around a lot and rarely lay on a float.

I got in a couple of weeks ago when it was 65 and after I dived in several times (canon ball ;-) I had enough. We swam for a couple of hours today, my father-in-law and myself, with the water temp right around 75-76 and found it just right with plenty of activity going on and the sun out.

In general, most all of us are happy when it's between 82-85. My wife wants a Solar Cover and we have heard that they do make a difference but I'd rather get used to the colder water than messing with the cover.

The best way to find out is jump in and see how you like it ;-)

Our water is right around 70 degrees and we have been swimming quite a bit. A little too cold to stay in for long periods, but definately refreshing when the sun is out and the temperatures are climbing.
