Question

Would u go swimming if the pool water was 70 deg?

Answer 1

Sure. It actually helps you to "get going".

Answer 2

Holy cow -- What are you people thinking? 70 degrees is cold!

If you are just playing around, anything under 80 degrees will feel "refreshing" -- some would say uncomfortably so. Ideal competition temp is in the 78-82 degree range -- colder than what people just splashing around would like.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "go swimming." If you mean hang out at the pool, I'd "go swimming" in 70 degree water only is if it's *really* hot outside . If "go swimming" means "work out" then I'd probably do it, but only if it the air temperature was warm. I have haunting memories of a pool heater going bad at our winter break training site: 70 degree water with an air temp in the 40s. Not pretty.

Answer 3

70 is actually a little warm if your talking about a competitive pool. It's absolutely freezing if your talking about a recreational pool.

Yes, I go swimming in pools as cold as 65 or lower for competitive swimming. I guess that's the temperature that creates the fastest water when mixed with the chemicals.

Answer 4

yeah 70 degrees is sorta cold still

but its not that bad

Answer 5

ideal for competitive swimming is 79, so, y eah, 70 sounds great.

Answer 7

70 is cold, but manageable if you are ready for it. I swam laps when the heater was broken on the pool at the YMCA. I survived.

Answer 9
