Optimal pool water temperature

Proper pool water temperature contributes to the comfort of visitors and also plays a key role in keeping the pool clean and hygienic. It depends on the purpose of the pool:

• sports;
• rehabilitation;
• thermal or jacuzzi;
• children’s.

Low temperature water can cause colds, while too warm water increases the load on the cardiovascular system.

Temperature standards for pool water

Stable, correct pool water temperature is essential for comfortable and healthy swimming. Optimal range:

• sports – 22-23°C;
• rehabilitation – 26-29°C;
• Jacuzzi – 39°C;
• children’s – 33-34°C.

The pool temperature is regulated and maintained within the required limits using thermometers or sensors integrated into the pool management system.

Water temperature in the children’s pool

The set pool temperature for children depends on age. For infants (0-1 year), the optimal water temperature is in the range of 33-34°C. This mode is most favorable for their fragile thermoregulation.

For young children (1-3 years old), the recommended water temperature is 28-30°C. This range provides comfortable conditions for active games and activities in the water, without causing hypothermia or overheating.

For preschoolers (3-7 years old), the optimal temperature is 26-28°C. Children of this age are better adapted to temperature influences, so this range of modes allows you to safely swim for a long time.

The temperature in the children’s pool should be within recommended limits. This is achieved using modern automatic temperature control systems.

Water temperature in the wellness pool

According to the standards, the water in the pool for recreational purposes should be in the range of 26-30°C - this mode creates the most comfortable conditions for visitors.

In pools for water procedures and rehabilitation after injuries and operations, the water temperature should be from 28 to 30 degrees. This helps relax muscles, increase blood circulation and improve the healing effect.

Water temperature in the sports pool

The set temperature in the sports pool should be 25-28°C. Requirements may vary slightly depending on the type of training. The optimal water temperature for swimmers is 26-27°C, since they spend a particularly long time in the water.

For water polo teams, the preferred temperature is 27-28°C, which is associated with higher physical activity of athletes.

Why is it important to monitor the temperature of the pool water?

The temperature of the water in the pool affects swimmers’ comfort and health: too cold water can cause chills, muscle cramps and suppress the desire to swim; too warm - leads to rapid fatigue.

What else affects comfortable swimming in the pool?

Swimming water temperature is not the only indicator that requires attention. The team of the sports and recreation complex “5 Element” monitors the condition of many factors:

• cleanliness and transparency of water

The presence of impurities or excessive chlorination causes irritation of the skin, eyes and other unpleasant sensations. Regular filtration and disinfection of water creates a favorable and healthy environment for swimmers.

• humidity level and ventilation

High air humidity in the pool area causes discomfort and a feeling of stuffiness, which is why an effective ventilation and humidity control system is so important to help maintain a pleasant microclimate.

• comfortable lighting

Proper pool lighting ensures sufficient visibility, which increases swimmer safety and promotes an enjoyable time.

• pH level

A comfortable pH for fresh water is between 6.5 and 7.6. If the water in the pool becomes alkalized (with a pH value above 7.6), cloudiness of the water may occur due to sediment, as well as a decrease in the activity of disinfectants; If the water is acidic (with a pH value below 6.5), then it may irritate the mucous membranes and damage the equipment.

Microclimate in the “5 Element” pools

The swimming pools of the 5 Element Club are located in a spacious, modern building equipped with advanced climate control systems. We pay special attention to maintaining the correct temperature and humidity in the room.

The air temperature in the pool area is maintained at 28-30°C - this temperature regime creates comfortable conditions for all categories of visitors. In addition, we control the level of air humidity, maintaining it in the range of 50-60%.

The pools have a highly efficient water purification system. Thanks to multi-stage filtration, the water here is always clean and safe.

Purification of tap water occurs in several stages:

• iron filtration;
• coal-sand filtration;
• water softening.The pools use equipment from the Spanish brand AstralPool - a benchmark in the production of cleaning systems for luxury pools.

Thanks to liquid sodium gypsum chloride Dinotec (Germany), the level of chlorine in water corresponds to drinking resource standards (according to GOST 2874-82 - 0.3-0.5 mg per dm3). To maintain low chlorine levels, we ozonate the water and treat it with ultraviolet light. A complete water purification cycle occurs every 4 hours. Quality control of water exchange in swimming pools occurs automatically.

Thanks to the coordinated operation of climate systems, our healthy pleasure club “5 Element” maintains an ideal microclimate that meets the highest standards. This allows our visitors to enjoy comfortable, safe and healthy swimming at any time of the year.
