Today, more and more people are inclined towards a healthy lifestyle, so the popularization of water sports has its own explanation. Both adults and children of different ages love to visit the pool. However, classes will be comfortable only if the conditions meet all the standards in accordance with GOST and requirements.
What should be the temperature?
Any activity should be fun. If we are talking about a swimming pool, it is necessary to ensure standards that comply with SanPiNu regarding temperature of water and air. This is very important, since people are naked in the room, respectively, they need to feel comfortable.
Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to various diseases.
It should be noted that a huge influence on the room temperature is precisely the temperature of the water. If the indicators are identical, there is a risk of cooling in water. Regarding regulations, for a swimming pool they are in the range of 22-24 degrees. If the lower limit is not reached, students may experience cramps. If we are talking, for example, about therapeutic exercises or water therapy, this temperature is not enough, it should be from 26 to 28 degrees.
The standard water temperature should be maintained not only in adults, but also in children's pools. In this case, the average is from 28 to 30 degrees. If we are talking about very small bathers, the temperature level should be constant to avoid the risk of hypothermia. In addition, it should be said that the humidity in the pool room is always increased due to the accumulation of a large amount of water.Also increases the level of evaporation and frequent operation of shower rooms.
If water temperature, vapor density, pressure and moisture content are within normal limits, then humidity will also be maintained at the required level. Also, moisture capacity depends on temperature indicators.
In sports
Standards in relation to the sports pool begin to be taken into account even at the construction stage. All of them are registered in the international organization FINA, which makes it possible to lay down financial costs and install the necessary equipment at the design stage. Compared to a private pool, there are significant differences regarding water treatment.
First of all, the restrictions concern the form. It can be exclusively rectangular.
Water must be exposed high-quality cleaning. After preheating until it reaches the required temperature, it enters the pool. For a similar tank the norm is 25-28 degrees. Also, the length of the pool is prescribed in the standards, which can be 25 or 50 meters. The water level should not change during the whole time of the competition. Water can be supplied additionally, however, there should be no current.
In the nursery
Special attention should be paid to swimming pools designed for bathing children or their activities at school. I must say that at present the swimming of babies from infancy is gaining popularity. Quite small is enough for an ordinary home bath, classes in which you can start a month after birth.
A visit to the pool usually begins after 2 months.
The temperature of the water in the baby bath should be kept at the level of 37 degrees during the first few classes, however, over time it is gradually reduced. By the 20th procedure, the indicator should be 35 degrees. After this, the water should also be made cooler until the baby begins to feel comfortable at 28 degrees.
If we are talking about the pool, in the case when it is designed for bathing 2-month-old babies, the temperature in it is kept at around 37 degrees. Children older than six months are enough indicators 32-34 degrees. In this case, they carefully monitor the room temperature, it should be about 26 degrees.
Parents give children to swim mainly for the purpose of hardening. Water training also has a beneficial effect on the immune system, helping the growing body to develop more actively. For these purposes, pools are equipped even in educational institutions. Experts believe that This factor helps not only to teach schoolchildren to swim, but also instills in them a love of sport and a healthy lifestyle. However, it should be borne in mind that the heat exchange processes in the body of children are not stable, for this reason too cold water can significantly harm their health.
Sanitary standards prescribe the temperature of both water and air in school pools.
In this situation, you must consider not only age, but also the level of physical fitness of the student. Children aged 6-8 will feel comfortable in the pool with a temperature of 30 to 32 degrees. If the student is from 8 to 12 years old, the average should be from 29 to 30 degrees. For adolescents over 12 years of age, the water temperature should be between 27 and 29 degrees.
In wellness
Standards for such a pool are similar to those for sports. However, more mass classes take place here. There is an opportunity to swim and just for lovers. Wellness and sports can be called, for example, pools in fitness clubs. The water temperature in them should be kept within 26-29 degrees. She's great both for active swimming, and for a relaxing holiday. It is this water that most often awaits our tourists at sea resorts.
Thermal pools deserve special attention.On average, the temperature in them is from 37 to 42 degrees.
The hotter ones are called "hyperthermal". The temperature is affected by both the chemical composition of the water and its balneological properties. It is from this indicator that the healing properties of such baths depend. According to experts, the highest concentration of nutrients is present in hot springs.
Indices for outdoor pools
The temperature standard for outdoor pools has its own characteristics. It differs significantly from those followed by the organizers of indoor complexes. Such tanks are used mainly in the summer, therefore weather has a direct impact on indicators. And if for adults a difference in temperature of several degrees is acceptable, then for children this issue is very important.
It is impossible to adjust the air temperature, so it is rather problematic to predict what readings will be on the sensor in an outdoor pool if it is not heated.
If the day is clear and sunny, under the influence of direct sunlight, heating will occur much more strongly than in cloudy weather. An increase in heat loss occurs with significant differences in water and air temperatures. If the pool is located outside, experts do not recommend taking water procedures at water temperatures below 21 degrees. Even without heating on especially hot days, it can warm up. up to 28-30 degrees. This is considered the norm.
In the case when there is no desire to depend on weather conditions, it makes sense to install a special pavilion made of polycarbonate above the outdoor pool. It will help protect the tank from any environmental surprises. The microclimate created inside will allow reaching the values indicated by SanPiN. If you install nearby heating appliances, you can swim until the fall.
Experts recommend maintaining the temperature in the open water at the level of 23-25 degrees.
If it is lower, it can create discomfort for bathers. At higher values, evaporation will increase, which threatens with natural cooling. The temperature of the soil also has a significant effect, which will also take part of the heat. If it is assumed that the pool is intended for children, the water temperature can be raised up to 28 degrees.
Air temperature
If the pool is located indoors, it is also necessary to maintain optimal air temperature there. If the inside is too hot or cold, it will also affect the comfort of those involved. In this situation, an unspoken rule is established. The air temperature in the room should be 1-2 degrees higher than the water temperature. Accordingly, going to land will be quite comfortable. If the institution requires a special room where preparatory classes take place, it should be a little cooler, up to +18 degrees.
As for shower rooms and locker rooms, it should also be warm, about 25 degrees. Comfortable temperature in the massage rooms is 22 degrees. If you plan to place a sauna, the air in it should be warmed up to 100-120 degrees maximum. The presence of drafts is also registered in SanPiNe. The maximum air velocity is 0.2 m / s. Accordingly, any drafts must be excluded.
