It's perfectly fine. I swim in weather between 53-72 all the time from Janaury-April. It depends if the pool is heated or where it's located and how much sun it gets.

Answer 11

No way. You can swim, but you won't enjoy it.  The air will be too cool to warm the water.  Your body temperature won't last very long and it won't be any fun.
