22C and i'd be in! ... but then i'm down here.

November mentioned again, which is too late surely. Till when? ... end of Jan ?!? ... 3 months!

So solar = Oct - Feb maybe ?!

Still hope to be in mine before November, but will be looking into solar if not.

For the last few years we've been in end Aug/early sept and out sometime near end of April. And no heating either. Well I bravely say we I mean OH and kids. I am about a month less at either end.
4 hrs north of Brissie.

My pool (well the pool in my block) here in Sydney is heated so I go swimming 3 or 4 times a week whatever the weather :thumbup:

Ours has been empty for many months (we've only lived here 2) but the renos are apparently almost complete, it'll be filled up and heated up within a couple of weeks. Will I go in it before December? Not bloody likely, and possibly not even then - especially if this Summer is like the last one :eek:

I don't have a pool but I do live right beside the sea - and no, no chance! Too cold still. Fiji is the only place I've been to where I can just walk in and keep going.
It's still a dip your toe in job here, shiver and hit the bar!

The kids have been in twice in the last few weeks.....but only lasted 5 or 10 minutes, the dog was shivering and my youngest having a proper Tantrum by the gate in his bathers cos I wouldn't let him in lol!

We are on the Gold Coast, Queensland and there's no heating in the pool.

Well we're only just up the road, so i'm confident now for end of Sept.

Ok, not 'nice dip' temp, but ok for a 'quick dip' to cool off if it's hot.
