You sure about that Ray?

I thought 80 was about as low as recommended temperatures ever got, and that was for competitive swimming and serious training. For more leisurely swimming activities, and especially for children, I thought you were looking mid-80s.

79f- Do you have to break the ice to get in[msnsmile2]

You are looking at mid 80s for leisure centre swimming pools for public swimming sessions or swimming lessons. On the rare time when the pool heating has dropped at the centre I work at children have been shivering and lips turning blue. So there is no way I would get in a pool that wasn't heated to 85 or higher. Truth be known, I don't get in unless it is nearer 88+

Red Cross of America reccomends a max. temp. of 85 degrees. I cannot remember their exact reason but it was something to do with getting out of a warm pool to colder outside temp. affecting some part of the body.

Have just returned from our villa and we had the pool heat on, despite temps into the 90's outside - the hotter it is the cooler the pool feels.

We would definitely recommend it for April. No question! I do not want to waste valuable swimming time inching my way into cold water. I can do that at the local swimming baths. I want to get straight in and enjoy the luxury of my own pool. Not sit shivering on the pool steps![msnwink]

Come on all the woosie's - stand up and be counted.

This April we had guests asking for it to be switched off as it was to hot.

I would wait until much nearer the time you go to see if it is needed.

We were there in August and the outside temprature was over 100, but I still found the pool to cool to get in first thing in the morning. I like to swim as soon as I get up around 8am. So I switched our heating on. It's all a matter of personal taste.
