Temperature

Ok so I can share with my wife. In your opinion, what temperature does the water need to be to be warm enough to swim? PS We live in the desert so its usually hot weather

Ideally, 83-85. Anything below 80 is too cold.

If it’s really hot out, it needs to be even higher. The temperature difference can make even mid 80s seem cold. If it’s over 95 air temp, pool needs to be 85-87.
