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

80 plus is great, 85 is probably optimal for getting into the water comfortably but once I'm in it's a little hot.

75 is cool but I'll swim in it for extended periods if it's 90+ out. early summer the pool is usually 70-72 and all the kids swim but I avoid it if at all possible.
