I opened my pool the first week of April. On this first day of May my pool reached the bathtub temperature of 90*F.

Wow... the water is still too chilly here. We've had a cool spring, so it may take a few more weeks. It's warming up though. I sweated for the first time at the ballpark Saturday afternoon. :P It's been cool enough that we're either comfortable or need a jacket/blanket. We're not used to that in April!

any outdoor pool swimming is still out of the question up here in Toronto (considering the temperature only climbed to 50F 10C for a high today) under thick overcast skies.
But my building has an indoor pool that is heated and open ALL year long, morning, noon and night.

We will likely open our pool in a couple of weeks.

The pool hit 94 today! Thats a record for us even with a solar cover on it. Just 2-3 more degrees until the cover comes off.

I had a new pool installed last week. the kids were even in it the same day....the water temp was 50 degrees!!! BRRRRRRR

I installed a solar heater on it this past weekend and that seems to be making a difference. The water temp is into the mid-sixties so far. between the solar heat and the solar blanket at night I think we can extent the pool season here by a few weeks each side of the WHITE SEASON :)

You close your pool? I have never seen a covered (for the winter) pool in Florida.
