Since you specify that your question is about water, please remember that water freezes at 0 degrees C or 32 degrees F and is no longer water, but becomes ice.
However, because of the mineral content in the water surrounding Antarctica, water can remain liquid down to about 28 degrees F.

What are the two conditions to make Antarctica the coldest place on Earth?
Two things.One, being at the South Pole, it's tied for being the farthest from the Equator with the Arctic ice at the North Pole. Being so far means it doesn't get a whole lot of sun.Two, and this is the difference maker, Antarctica is a land mass. This not only provides elevation (Antarctica's permanence allows ice to constantly accumulate, providing considerable elevation which drops the temperature further) but also prevents the temperature-balancing effects of water from tempering the cold the way it does in the Arctic Ocean.

Why are the coldest climates on Earth found at the North and South Pole?
The North and South Poles have the coldest climates on earth because light strikes them obliquely (at an angle) and only for a part of the year. Low sun angles make for less heating, and when there is no sun, it gets cold. That's why the poles of the earth have the coldest climates.
