Is pool water likely to be comfortable at 77 degrees?

I have bad knees, and that can make it hard for me to exercise. I've been looking forward to swimming all winter. Starting on Thursday, it will be 77-78 degrees for a week (I live in Florida). My apartment complex has an outdoor pool. Is the water likely to be comfortable, or do I need to wait a little longer?

    77 is cold anytime. If you want warm water, then 83/84 is when it starts to get warm. Competitive would be anywhere from 79-82

    if you have bad knees like you said i would what a bit longer.

    simply b/c it will fill much colder in the water and your knees wil get to the point where you do not want to move in the water at that degr. so i would what till it is about 83-85 that might be a good dgre.

    It is good for lap swimming but in your case I should be 83-89.
