Big pool!
The four biggest reasons are CYA level, temperature, circulation, and the amount of sunlight hitting it.
We do ask that you put your pool's specs in your signature and putting your latest test results in your message body. This helps us to help you more effectively.

Because it is an indoor pool. Chlorine goes away quickly outdoors, and far more slowly indoors.
You you know your CYA level? If CYA is zero then raising FC up to 20 is way too high.

I understand that anything in the 10 and under range for FC is ok to swim in?
Heck........my target level FC is 8 and I jump right in!

Safe to swim in depends on your CYA level. If you have literally zero CYA then I wouldn't swim at an FC level of over 2, although people do swim up to perhaps 5 some places. As soon as there is even just a little CYA then swimming up to 10 is fine, and as CYA goes up higher FC levels become alright.
