Re: What is the temperature of your pool now?
30 degrees today - at least that was what the thermometer said floating on the surface. My 4 year old boy dipped his toe in and said it was too cold yet my three year old daughter jumped right in off the edge and she can't even swim yet 
we eventually stayed in for about an hour and had a hard job to get the kids out

I'm happy with my $10 thermo, albeit I reckon it's +1C, but I see it go from 16C and lower to the current 30C it's on right now, and my body feels the diff too, and enjoy's the current ...

Should've got in but had a heap of BB to watch ...
All good! ...

Yeah they are a good guide before you jump-in. We only got our pool this year so obviously couldn't wait to try it out, it was only showing 18 degrees on the thermo at the time so I persuaded the missus to jump in - she swam one lap and would have beaten Ian Thorpe to the over end.

It's a faff to put put and fill but essential for the summer here. It's an ideal height for our 6 year old to walk around in and generally mess around.
