That's apart from the fact that a swimming pool with a water temperature of 40° Celsius is useless as a swimming pool.

I could actually see that working pretty well in the winter, but only then. Nobody in their right mind would go swimming in 40 C° hot water during the summer when the sun is blasting down.

Going swimming in 40 C° hot water is rather dangerous. That’s the maximum safe temperature for a hot tub that you sit in for 10-15 minutes. It’s above body temperature and will prevent your body from cooling. A comfortable temperature for swimming is around 30 degrees, lower in summer.
