I have to say aquatic exercise was a god send when I was first getting over my severe attack last year.

It really helped strengthed my muscles up to the point where I could walk about unaided, though I do still use a stick when going for a walk over longer distances.

The warmer the water the better, though I didnt get much say in that as our aqua robics were held in the local swimming pool, not a special pool solely used for that purpose.

I had someone ask me what the recommended temperature is for rehab in the pool? Any ideas?

According to the aquatic physical therapy section of the APTA water temperature guidelines might include the following:

82-88 degrees for more active patients and patients with MS
88-92 degrees for less active patients such as those with arthritis or women
92-96 degrees for less active patients with hypertonicity/spasticity issues
