What is the temperature of your pool?

• We keep our pools at a competition temperature of around 79-81°F. The American Red Cross suggests the temperature for swim lessons be at least 89.6°F for those under age 6 and 84.2°F for those aged 15 and older, in order to prevent hypothermia. Before signing up for swim clinics, it is recommended that you come in and test the water at our facilities during recreational swim hours.
