I opened my pool about two weeks ago...
And it's finally 90 degrees and the water is too cold to get in. :-(

1. My dear one_voice...
Do you have a wetsuit? That will help till the water warms up...

:hug:

That has to be super frustrating!

2. Not one that won't leave...
me with unsightly tan lines. :-)

Usually we're behind the ball, it's like 100 degrees for two weeks before we open it, and this year it's been cooler than usual.

I put my liquid solar cover fishies in today, they'll help. :hi:

3. I've been waiting to get in my pool too... and I live in AZ!!
I need the water to be at least 75 degrees or it's just too cold for me to be comfortable. Well finally this last weekend the water was warm enough but the air temp was about 20 degrees below normal (it was barely in the mid 70s) and it was very windy.
sheesh... this is just weird weather for this area. ...and I want to get in my pool! :cry:

5. Me too..
because of a medical condition I can't get in if it's cold. We've had unusually cool weather. My husband was vacuuming it a week or so ago and the high was 50-55. Crazy.

It sucks, it's 90 and humid and the pool looks so good.... :cry:

8. You're lucky...
I'm in Delaware and the water is really cold. I'm hoping that the warm weather the next couple of days does the trick.

Enjoy your pool!

12. Yeah, I check the maps regularly. You've been running a good 10 degrees cooler than we have.
Sometimes more.

covers. I wanna try the solar discs. You just toss them in the water and you're done. They float on top, easy in easy out.

10. The blanket is a pain!
I have seen the solar discs in pool supply magazines. Maybe I will check into them this year.
