Sometimes I leave mine in for about a half hour to an hour. They love to swim..so i let them. If yours are used to water..you could just put them in the bath tub, thats what i do..lots of room. And remember, never take your eyes off them while in the water. Sometime I'll sit with my headphone watching them or with a magazine or book, always checking on them, sitting right next to the tub..just in case

There's really not a specific temperature, but it should be "lukewarm". If it feels warm to you, it's too warm for them.
