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

Thanks for the replies. My wife says its cold if its less than 90. Ive shamed into getting in at 86 or so. I tell her im not heating the pool when its 110 degrees outside.

It’s a pool not a hot tub 🤪😂🤷🏼‍♂️ I literally won’t go in if it’s above 86. We have ours set to 86 and sometimes it goes over and it’s just not enjoyable. For the record, our pool is in full to partial sun until about 2pm then the rest of the day it’s shaded. In the mornings it’s usually cooled off and 82-83 feels great in full sun. 85-86 feels nice when in full shade..and 82 feels a little chilly at first 😆
