What is the maximum recommended temperature for an indoor pool?

The maximum recommended temperature for an indoor pool is 88°F. This temperature is generally considered optimal for swimmer comfort and safety. Maintaining the water temperature around this level helps to balance the needs for both recreational swimming and exercise, as higher temperatures can contribute to overheating and discomfort. Beyond this temperature, swimmers may experience fatigue more quickly and a decrease in performance, particularly during vigorous activities. Additionally, keeping the temperature around 88°F helps to prevent excessive evaporation, which can lead to higher humidity levels and associated maintenance issues in the pool environment.
