Anyone in their pool yet?

Anyone in SEQLD had a dip?
They say solar will give you a month or so either side so would guess them with are already enjoying?

kids have been in a couple of times, they are mental and it lasted 3 mins approx and they went a funny colour
we have been swimming in the sea for about 3 weeks and its beautiful. Much warmer as of course the temp doesnt change very much through the year

Re: Anyone in their pool yet?
our pool is in its 'off season' phase, ie its green and you could walk across it if you tried.
we shall transtion to summer phase by throwing in as many chlorine balls as i can count to before the fumes get me + as many bags of salt as I can carry in my boot on one trip to bunnings.
It is a precise art.
