Water exercise for arthritis: Does pool temperature matter?QuestionWhat's the best pool temperature for water exercise? AnswerThere is no standard guideline for ideal water temperature in pools used for exercise. According to the Arthritis Foundation, pool temperatures between 83 and 88 F (28.3 and 31.1 C) are usually comfortable for water exercise. If you are just soaking or doing very gentle movements, you can usually tolerate slightly warmer temperatures.
