for drinking, bathing or swimming? I like to drink ice water, I like to swim in cool - like 80-90º water, and bath in warm water - like 100º or so. I don't like really hot water for bathing in.

I mean for drinking.but elicbxn,don't you think bathing in water with 100º is too hot? 'I like to swim in cool - like 80-90º water' do you mean above or below zero.if above,i also think it's kind of hot.

I'm talking F not C, 100ºF is like 40º C ish, don't ask me the exact. I like the water just above body temp. I like to swim just below body temp, but I live in a very hot state (Texas) and the ice water cools my core and keeps me more comfortable.

Oh I definately prefer warmer water too, to swim and bath in but in the mornings I always splash cold water on my face after washing as it is refreshing and helps close pores back up after cleansing. Ellie :D

It depends on different seasons and different situations. I like drinking warm water when i get up in the morning, it is good for digestive system and I prefer ice water in hot summer.

For drinking, I prefer very cold water. But, for swimming and bathing, I prefer warm to hot water. I look forward to drinking cold water, especially in the summer. Warm water just doesn't seem to satisfy me.

I prefer warm water for baths and room temperature or slightly cold water for drinking! I do not like cold water showers as it shocks my skin too much!

I live in the southern US, so I love ice water. I can't stand warm water. I think I could drink it hot easier. My Dad used to think if you got really hot (like from mowing the grass), that you should drink a lot of ice water. I'm the opposite...give me plenty of it! lol

Whether warm or cold, I love both temperatures actually. for shower and drinking. :P I always use cold water for washing my face, especially when it is hot during the day, and when I am sleepy but I still have a lot of works to do during the day. But when I take shower, it depends. Warm is the most pick for me, especially in the morning or when it is already late at night. But when the weather is just too hot, I would combine the warm water with cold one. I would use the warm one first, so my body would not get ‘shocked’ by the sudden temperature difference, and later I would finish it with cold water. Some kind of water treatments for my body, perhaps. :P If we talk about drinking, well, I always drink cold unless it is for milk (or at night). Or when my body has taken too much cold drinking, I would switch to hot tea for once.

I like my water slightly cold and room temperature but bottled water I know which ones really suite my taste and when you really need water man is chilled water soo good. I do not like alot of ice in my water though when at home and rarely use my ice cube containers. Hairdresser, I also like starting out with a hot shower and then ending with cold water, I wondered why I felt so refreshed and woken up.

I love warm water for showers. When it is cold outside, my shower is almost set on HOT! lol So that is above warm. I don't like ice water. Some would say I am strange, but water makes me thirstier. I can drink flavored water, but not regular. Wierd huh

I like drinking water really cold. Not icy though. I don't have ice in drinks very often at all. If I am bathing in it I prefer it really hot!

Most of the time I prefer room temperature. But when it is piping hot outside, I love the ice water. I don't think I will ever appreciate just plain hot water.

I like my water for drinking to be ice cold. I fill a glass with ice all the way to the top and then put the water in. It is very cold that way. For a both or shower I prefer warm water. Not hot water though. I have sensitive skin and hot water dries it out.
