Geoff:
With respect, that is the temperature setting on the boiler, not the 
thermostat system on the lounge wall. I am talking about the 
temperature of the water circulating in the pipes. The manufacturers 
actually recommend 80 C in winter and 65 C in the summer with only 
the water switched in.

I wouldn't want to take a bath at 58 F. When the seawater here gets to 
about 65 F, it is just about tolerable for swimming.
