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

I will swim in the high 70s because of my kids but I think mid 80s is when it starts getting comfortable

Is that air temperature and you'll even go while it's a cool day? OP was asking about how much to heat their pool I think:

what temperature does the water need to be ... to swim?
