There are always going to be people who like it hot, and those who like it colder. Standard completive swimming pools are set right around 80 degrees. Thats for swimmers who do a serious aerobic workout which could easily be about 140 lengths of the sport pool per session, to put it in perspective. You can't imagine how it feels to do that type of workout in bathwater. The pools right now are average about 90 degrees. Its unhealthy to say the least. For those that want a gentle splashing around, there are tons of neighborhood pools to choose from which would not be chilled. The sports pools are supposed to be for the more serious athletes. It would be nice to have at least one pool in the Villages that was cooled to a reasonable degree. If people wanted to swim in hot water they would have many pools to choose from. Those who need cooler water for proper aerobic training would at least have one option, other than leaving the Villages and swimming in Gainesville.
