What is the ideal temperature for a home swimming pool

Answer

First, I will say that the temperature will vary depending on the person(s) using the pool. Some people are more confortable in cooler or warmer water than others and it certainly depends on how warm the air temperature is.

That being said, most people will find that a pool temp less than 70F to be somewhat chilly.

Pool temps around 75F are comfortable for some but might still be a little cool for others.

Pool temps around 80F are generally very comfortable for most everyone.

Pool temps around 85F are generally very, very comfortable for nearly everyone, but may start to actually feel too warm for some (especially on a warm summer day).

Above 90F you're heading into hot tub territory! Nice on a cold day but generally too hot for the summer.

Hope this helps...
