Maintaining Body Temperature: When athletes dive into cold water, their bodies lose heat rapidly. Soaking in warm water helps maintain an optimal body temperature and prevents hypothermia, which can negatively impact physical performance.<br \/>2. Muscle Relaxation: Warm water helps relax muscles and reduces spasms. This is crucial for athletes to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries or cramps during competition.<br \/>3. Preparation for the Next Dive: Soaking in warm water ensures athletes feel comfortable and ready for their next dive, allowing the body to quickly return to an optimal competitive state.<br \/>\u3164<br \/>For diving competitions, the pool temperature must be at least 26\u00b0C (78.8\u00b0F) to protect athletes from the physical shock of rapid temperature changes upon entering the water.<br \/>In Olympic swimming competitions, the water temperature is maintained at approximately 25\u00b0C, which is the ideal range for balancing body heat dissipation and maintaining peak swimming performance.<br \/>\u3164<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pac.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1f535.png\" alt=\" \" width=\"16\" height=\"16\">PAC Pooltemper Pool Heat Pump<br \/>\u2022 Available in various models and sizes to suit any pool dimensions.<br \/>\u2022 High efficiency and maximum energy savings with Inverter technology.<br \/>\u2022 Temperature range from 10 to 50 degrees Celsius.<br \/>\u2022 Professional engineering team providing site surveys, pre-installation planning, and after-sales service.<br \/>\u2022 Over 15 years of experience in nationwide sales and installation.<br \/>\u2022 Trusted by a wide range of clients, including private residences, children&#8217;s swimming schools, and leading hotels and resorts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pac-imported-gallery\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pac-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/pac.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0001.png\" alt=\"PAC Gallery\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pac-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/pac.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/455150734_898621338949492_48766336268435166_n.jpg\" alt=\"PAC Gallery\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pac-gallery-img\" src=\"https:\/\/pac.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/\u0e14\u0e35\u0e44\u0e0b\u0e19\u0e4c\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e31\u0e07\u0e44\u0e21\u0e48\u0e44\u0e14\u0e49\u0e15\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e0a\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d.png\" alt=\"PAC Gallery\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 Olympic Games have concluded.
