Default Pools - how many months use per year?

I know everyone has different water temperature tolerances but how many months on average would you say you/your children/grandchildren use your pools throughout the year?

Would have to be used a hell of a lot more than for just a midnight cool-down skinny dip!

Ahhh, but they don't all have to be cleaned all year, I just pull the plug out when we are sure we have finished using it! And we are at least a half hour's
drive from the beach, and sod being stuck there all day everyday for the 12 weeks of the school holidays!

Just drown the kids in the pool and have done with it! ....then fill it in with a nice patio and some plants and sit out in a nice quiet evening with a nice bottle of red and some tapas... listening to the sound of the insects chirrupping.... instead of rows and screams and fights!
