What temperature should an outdoor pool be heated to for comfortable swimming in cold weather or freezing temperatures?

I think you should just adjust to the temperature of the water.
I am a nationally ranked swimmer and I like the pool at 68-73 degrees.
At a temperature of 82, you should only be in the water for 25-30 minutes. I don't know how long you plan on swimming, but even 82 degrees to me sounds way to warm. I you decide what to do.
AnswerWe usually heat ours to around 85�F. In fact, in the summer, we consider our pool cool if it stays below 90�F (we live in Phoenix where 115�F is normal).Also, while they say that a spa around 105�F shouldn't be used for more than 15 or so minutes by an adult, water at 85�F is safe for an indefinite amount of time.
Water Temperature A Sore Spot For Pool OperatorsPool temperature is one of the biggest sore spots for pool operators.The answer is simple. If you are seeking repeat business, heat the pool at to a temperature the patrons will enjoy.
My recommendations are as follows: ''competitive swimming'' - the swim coach should determine the temperature ''hotels and resorts'' - 84 to 86 degrees is an ideal range ''athletic clubs or YMCAs'' - it depends on who they are catering to. If they cater to lap swimmers, 82 degrees is a reasonable temperature. For casual swimmers, near 84 degrees is better. Warmer than 84 degrees will be too warm for lap swimmers.

∙ 17y agoIt depends on if a pool is above or below ground. While air temperature affects a body of water exposed to it, so does the ground temperature. A warm ground will keep your pool from freezing at 32 degrees F. However, an above-ground swimming pool may freeze above 32 degrees F is there is a cold wind. Thus, wind chill will lower the temperature of the pool tank (especially if it is metal) and your pool will freeze faster. Try a propane or wood-fired pool heater. In cloudy Northeastern states, solar heating is ineffective. In fact, today's solar pool heaters are too weak to keep a pool from freezing at sustained below-freezing temperatures. It's always best to drain any pool in a cold winter climate. Good luck and happy swimming!

How do euglena respond to stimuli?
I am doing an experiment on the topic of temperatures affecting Euglena's speed. For my research I deduce that at the highest temperature Euglena can withstand will speed up the Euglena while the lower the temperature drops the slower the Euglena will move.
Is 28 degrees Celsius cold or hot?
it depends...... If its 28 degrees celsius its warm... If its 28 degrees Fahrenheit it would be dam cold.
A thimbleful of water at 100c has a highrer temperature than a swimming pool full of water at 20c but the pool has more thermal energy than the timble explain?
To raise the temperature of water in a thimble of water from 0 to 100 requires a small amount of thermal energy. To do the same with a swimming pool would require putting a huge amount of thermal energy into the water comparatively speaking.
What are the temperatures for ponds and lakes?
Which pond where when? The temperature of a body of water depends on where it is, how deep it is, where the water filling it comes from, and what the ambient temperature is. In other words, you haven't given us nearly enough information to answer the question.
Is a mouse an endothermic or and ectotherm?
Ectothermic means its cold bloodedendothermic means that its warm bloodedOne trait that distinguishes the major groups of vertebrates from one another is the way in which they control their body temperature. Most fish, amphibians, and reptiles have body temperatures that are close to the temperature of their environment.2 Fish, amphibians, and reptiles are ectotherms. An ectotherm is an animal whose body does not produce much internal heat. Its body temperature changes depending on the temperature of the environment. For example, when a turtle is lying in the sun on a riverbank, it has a higher body temperature than when it is swimming in a cool river. Ectotherms are sometimes called "cold-blooded," but that is misleading. The blood of ectotherms is often quite warm.3 In contrast to the turtle, a beaver would have the same body temperature whether it was in cool water or on warm land. The beaver is an endotherm. An endotherm is an animal whose body controls and regulates its temperature by controlling the internal heat it produces. An endotherm's body temperature usually does not change much, even when the temperature of its environment changes. Mammals and birds are endotherms. They have a stable body temperature that is typically much warmer than their environment. Endotherms are often called "warm-blooded" animals.
What is the recommended temperature for an indoor public pool?
Comfortable swim temperatures range from 80~90 degrees based on personal preference, 82-85 degrees F is a good swim temperature for general but not lap swimming.
What is the ideal water temperature for an indoor swimming pool for senior citizens?
Recommended water temperatures from 78°F for fitness swimming, 82°F for recreational swimming. There is no recommended water temperature for residential pools. note that high water temperatures can make the sanitation of water more difficult.
How hot is 80 degrees F WATER?
It's a comfortable temperature for a swimming pool
At what temperature do you restart a swimming pool?
I guess you are asking about daily air temperature. Once the surface has melted, the only concern is the above ground pipes freezing. If you leave the pump running all the time, the chance of freezing is very low.
How do fishes living in Antarctica survive?
Fish swimming in waters around Antarctica -- which is liquid -- enjoy water temperatures that are above freezing. Cold water on earth is home to many fish which thrive in cooler water.
Do heat pumps for swimming pools work well in new york?
In a word YES.Modern quality heat pumps can extract heat from the air even when the temperature is below freezing.
Is an olympic swimming pool heated?
Yes, Olympic swimming pools (and all competitive swimming pools) are heated. Olympic swimming pools are kept at temperatures typically around 77-79 degrees Fahrenheit or around 25-26.1 degrees Celsius. However, the temperature can go up to 82 degrees Fahrenheit or 27.7 degrees Celsius and be acceptable to FINA, the organization overseeing Olympic swimming. FINA's optimal temperatures for water polo are 79 Fahrenheit or 26 Celsius; for synchronized swimming, 81 Fahrenheit or 27 Celsius; and for diving, not under 79 Fahrenheit or 26 Celsius.
How is the water in Alaska?
Freezing cold. (Why I never go swimming)
What is the common temperature for swimming pools?
There are really no common temperatures for swimming pools, because it really depends on where you live. If you have a swimming pool in Florida and then one in Montana, each of their temperatures is going to be different. It depends on where you live and how hot or cold it is outside.
Should i Wear a bra swimming?
No, when you are swimming, you do not wear a bra. However, if you would feel more comfortable, many swimming costumes, bikinis and tankinis come with a built-in bra
Why is it when it's raining the water in the swimming pool is warm but when it is sunny the water in the swimming pool is cold?
It's all about how your body reacts to relative temperatures. The truth is that the pool temperature is not likely to be the culprit. It's more about how your body perceives the difference between the outside temperature vs the pool temperature. The transition from standing in the hot sun to getting into your pool makes the water feel colder than it might feel than if you are standing in cold rain before entering the pool.
How warm should it be to go swimming?
It doesn't really matter what the outside temperature is as long as you are comfortable with the water temperature. I have swam in an indoor/outdoor pool in the middle of January in below freezing (in Canada) where the water was probably 90degrees. I even stood on the deck for a few seconds and was still warm with the water steaming off me.
