On a serious note though, when it gets that hot you need to start being mindful of that brain eating ameoba (I forget the actual name) and be really careful not to get water up your nose. Really important for little kids. I read it just got an 11 year old somewhere and before that the 17yo at the whitewater place in NC.
Really important for little kids as many don't know how to keep water out of their mouth/nose while swimming (course it doesn't hurt to swallow, except for bacteria maybe but the amoeba only attack the olfactory nerve in the sinus).
A young girl died from that here on the Kansas Lakes a few summers ago when it was really hot, 2012 or 13 I think, really sad.
If anyone has little kids either keep them out of it or put some nose plugs on them while swimming, probably not a good idea for skiing/tubing for the little ones.
