I'd say that as long as it's a gentle bubble, it is a simmer. Poaching
heat is about 160 degrees F, wherein bubbles form but don't rise to the
surface. Simmering is at around 180, but can have bubbles rising,
usually in the center. I'd say a boil is characterized by bubbles
blooping up from the entire surface. Of course, things like liquid
viscosity, air pressure and altitude all affect boiling.

Water boils at sea level at 212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C.
