I think you should just adjust to the temperature of the water.
I am a nationally ranked swimmer and I like the pool at 68-73 degrees.
At a temperature of 82, you should only be in the water for 25-30 minutes. I don't know how long you plan on swimming, but even 82 degrees to me sounds way to warm. I you decide what to do.
AnswerWe usually heat ours to around 85�F. In fact, in the summer, we consider our pool cool if it stays below 90�F (we live in Phoenix where 115�F is normal).Also, while they say that a spa around 105�F shouldn't be used for more than 15 or so minutes by an adult, water at 85�F is safe for an indefinite amount of time.
Water Temperature A Sore Spot For Pool OperatorsPool temperature is one of the biggest sore spots for pool operators.The answer is simple. If you are seeking repeat business, heat the pool at to a temperature the patrons will enjoy.
My recommendations are as follows: ''competitive swimming'' - the swim coach should determine the temperature ''hotels and resorts'' - 84 to 86 degrees is an ideal range ''athletic clubs or YMCAs'' - it depends on who they are catering to. If they cater to lap swimmers, 82 degrees is a reasonable temperature. For casual swimmers, near 84 degrees is better. Warmer than 84 degrees will be too warm for lap swimmers.

At what temperature will a pool freeze?
It depends on if a pool is above or below ground. While air temperature affects a body of water exposed to it, so does the ground temperature. A warm ground will keep your pool from freezing at 32 degrees F. However, an above-ground swimming pool may freeze above 32 degrees F is there is a cold wind. Thus, wind chill will lower the temperature of the pool tank (especially if it is metal) and your pool will freeze faster. Try a propane or wood-fired pool heater. In cloudy Northeastern states, solar heating is ineffective. In fact, today's solar pool heaters are too weak to keep a pool from freezing at sustained below-freezing temperatures. It's always best to drain any pool in a cold winter climate. Good luck and happy swimming!
Is 28 degrees hot?
It depends on the scale you're using:28oC is nicely warm, it is a good swimming water temperature and your mean skin surface temperature.28oF is freezing cold, this is -2oC, water becomes ice is at 32oF (0oC)28 K is so cold that most gases are solid! It is -245oC
A thimbleful of water at 100c has a highrer temperature than a swimming pool full of water at 20c but the pool has more thermal energy than the timble explain?
To raise the temperature of water in a thimble of water from 0 to 100 requires a small amount of thermal energy. To do the same with a swimming pool would require putting a huge amount of thermal energy into the water comparatively speaking.
How do marine animals protect themselves?
coral, rocks, darkness of the sea, blending abilities, "scare" tatics, swimming away with their school, hoping they dont get eaten, maybe "play dead" for certain fishes, "freezing", other capabilities like the octopus' ink...

What is the common temperature for swimming pools?
There are really no common temperatures for swimming pools, because it really depends on where you live. If you have a swimming pool in Florida and then one in Montana, each of their temperatures is going to be different. It depends on where you live and how hot or cold it is outside.
Can a snapping turtle survive freezing temperatures?
Yes, depending on the species and regional variation. Common Snapping Turtles in New York and Canada hibernate through freezing temperatures every winter, and have even been seen swimming in ponds under the ice.

What should the outdoor temperature be for you to go swimming?
It doesn't really matter what the outside temperature is as long as you are comfortable with the water temperature. I have swam in an indoor/outdoor pool in the middle of January in below freezing (in Canada) where the water was probably 90degrees. I even stood on the deck for a few seconds and was still warm with the water steaming off me.
At what temperature do you restart a swimming pool?
I guess you are asking about daily air temperature. Once the surface has melted, the only concern is the above ground pipes freezing. If you leave the pump running all the time, the chance of freezing is very low.
