Heated Swimming Pool
Hi new to this forum, not an Expat but want some advice about a holiday rental in the Costa Blanca area. A company called Villaplus advertise villas with heated pools claiming up to 28 C all year round. In the first week of October will an unheated pool for a 50 year old be "freezing and heart attack time getting in it" and if someone has experience of a heated pool will it be worth the extra or will things in practice mean it`s only really a slight improvement ? If anyone has a villa for rent in the Javea/Denia or Moraira/ Jalon Valley area at a good price for 7 nights from 3rd October with a pool for 2 adults then get in touch please ? [email protected]

it's hard to say - I have swum in Ocober in an unheated swimming pool in Javea - but some Octobers are too cold & wet to go near a pool
however if the pool was heated I might swim - I know my kids definitely would

Re: Heated Swimming Pool
Our unheated but solar bubble covered pool is currently just under 30 on top, 28 at the bottom, which is already dropping away from the 34/30 it was about three weeks ago. I know people happy to swim when it´s 20, but my personal preference is about 25/26 & above. That´s not take your breath away, it´s refreshing. DD has swum on her Halloween birthday, but only for a minute or two. We all generally think mid/late September is a rule of thumb cut-off but as Lynn says, it´s all down to the weather.

Re: Heated Swimming Pool
In October I think the temp. in the pool (on average) will drop to low to mid 20's - probably best to go for a heated one if you can.
Yeh, right - our children said that last year! They went in most times but when it was colder, they were fully dressed! Even then it wore thin after a while.
