30C-34C is about 86F-93F! That temp will generally feel too warm for most people in a pool.

A better temp that would suit more people would be around 27C-29C or 80F-84F. The water will still feel warm but still be refreshing when you're swimming.

...

I think for 30-34 degree centigrade ambient temperature, the pool temperature should be around 81 F (approx. 27 degree C). This will make body feel fresh.

For a ambient temperature of around 25 degree C and below, the pool temperature should be slightly higher at 30 - 32 deg C.

I run a health club and have always had my pools at the following:

Depending on the water temp the ambient temperature should be 1 degree higher. Ideally the pool should be 29 - 30 with an ambient temp of 31 degrees

You don't really want pool water any higher than 30 as it starts to cause problems with the water.

Higher temps will increase evaporation - causing the amount of dissolved solids to increase, it also means the disinfectant will be burnt off and the total alkalinity will also increase - this will cause all the pipes to fur up just like a kettle does.

First, I will say that the temperature will vary depending on the person(s) using the pool. Some people are more comfortable in cooler or warmer water than others and it certainly depends on how warm the air temperature is. That being said, most people will find that a pool temp less than 70F to be somewhat chilly. Pool temps around 75F are comfortable for some but might still be a little cool for others. Pool temps around 80F are generally very comfortable for most everyone. Pool temps around 85F are generally very, very comfortable for nearly everyone, but may start to actually feel too warm for some (especially on a warm summer day). Above 90F you're heading into hot tub territory! Nice on a cold day but generally too hot for the summer. ...

For stable heat, Frequently check the Lead Level in water. High lead leavel may harm the swimmers and it may heat up the body...

Best? For comfort? That answer is different for everyone. It's like how hot do you like your shower. As far as for quality of water, a warmer pool can be just a clean it will just take more sanitizer to do the job.

Considering body temp. averages 98.6 degrees, a decent temp. for water would be around 74-78.

According to "Pool and Spa Water Chemistry" by Taylor Technologies, ordinary

swimming pool water temperature is between 78 and 82 degrees F. In extreme cold scenarios, the 50/50/50 rule applies--- someone in 50 degree water for 50 minutes has a 50% chance of surviving.
