Not too bad actually! I made a rash promise a few weeks ago that I would go in the pool when it got over 21 degrees - the kids have been in since it reached 17 Anyway today was the day and I like to keep my promises (despite recovering from the flu) and I went in - it was OK - not as bad as I expected only stayed in 15-20 mins. I'm sure next year will be different when we've acclimatised.

I wouldn't get in unless it gets to about 24C these days

Do you have solar heating or a blanket or is it just warmer where you are? We're renting at the moment so have what we get but we've bought a house with a pool and are wondering about heating the pool a bit.

biggy

no its not heated........we r in central Qld I am quite surprised how quickly it has heated up

If you can its deffo worth heating the pool. Ours is solar heated and it makes a huge amount of difference. Its the difference between swimming 7 months a year and 9-10.

How expensive is it to install the solar heating?

lol - just back from the pool shop. Quite surprised actually - only needed two bags of salt - PH and chlorine levels basically fine. Hell of a lot of crap in there though, so it'll be pool vacuuming day tommorow.

biggy

me and my son cleaned it yesterday, Ive been quite good over winter and cleaned it every month....Ive been testing it with those strip test thingys and it was really good until we had rain last week and its gone tits up now, doing a superchlorinate as I type and will get some stabeliser and it should be good to go Pity I look like a beached whale at the minute and my cossy prolly wont fit haha!!!!
