For competitive swimming, the competition water temperature specified by FINA is usually low, the water temperature for men's competition is usually between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius (77 to 8 1 Fahrenheit), and the water temperature for women's competition and juvenile competition is usually between 25 and 26 degrees Celsius (77 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit). This kind of water temperature is helpful to improve the performance of the competition, because the lower water temperature can reduce the heat loss of the body, thus improving the endurance and speed of athletes.
Some swimming pools may provide swimming pools with different temperatures to meet the needs of different swimmers, such as hot pools, warm pools and cold pools. The water temperature in the hot pool is usually above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), which is suitable for relaxation and rehabilitation training. The temperature of the warm pool is between 26 and 28 degrees Celsius (79 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit), which is suitable for ordinary leisure swimming. The water temperature in the cold pool may be 22 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) or lower, which is suitable for endurance training and high-intensity exercise.
If you plan to go swimming, you'd better know the specific water temperature information of the swimming pool in advance to ensure that you can enjoy the most comfortable swimming experience.
