Just a couple comments from someone who swims on a regular basis.....and has been doing so for decades.

If you swim in a chlorinated pool with eyes open, your eyes will burn. I can't imagine swimming without goggles.

Also....a pool that has water heated to 82 degrees sounds warm.....but remember normal body temp is 98.6, so 82 degrees isn't all that warm....especially if it's a cool, windy day.

The indoor Olympic-sized pool that I lap swim in up north is heated to 83 or 84 degrees....and it's comfortable, but not warm.

The whirlpool is heated to 103 degrees....and that's nice.

An indoor pool in TV would be nice. Just had to throw that in!
