Unheated pools

[Cruella DeVilla]

Matter of preference I think. We were in the pool yesterday with no heat. It was 76 degrees and fine once you get in!!

76! Brrrrrr - there's nothing would get me into water at that temperature[msneek] I like a nice toasty 85 - 90 [^]

I would cope with that CDV, I am a swimmer and once in the pool would power up and down.
Not too sure about lazing about at those sort of temps[msneek]<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by Cruella DeVilla

Our boys prefer not to have the pool heat on in the summer, but then they do some training as they are members of a swimming club. If I had little ones I might be tempted to have the pool heating on anyway as they get cold quite easily as they are not so active in the water.[msnsmile2]

When we were out last july, our pool temp was at least 84 degrees every day. This without pool heat and no pool blanket. It felt cold when you first get in as the outside temperature was normally higher.

I like the spa heat on, and sometimes the pool heat too; ok I admit it I'm soft just have it on all the time...

I would also bear in mind how much of the time are you going to be using the pool. If it's a first time visit people are often too busy out and about to worry much about the temperature of the pool. Others who have been to Florida on a number of occassions might spend a lot more time around and in the pool and want to be sure they can get full use of it.

Whatever you decide I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.

Our most recent guests have complained that the pool is too hot and asked to have it switched off. I don't think heat is necessary in summer months - Pool heater wil only heat to mid 80s, if air temp is 90-100 it will still feel cool. Once you are in water will feel nice and warm.
Ruth did you use the old Burntisland open air pool that drew water straight from the sea - I think the temperature rarely got above 40degrees even mid summer. We used to travel about 20miles by train to swim there - it was awful.

We always put our pool heat on even in the summer months.
Our pool is normally around 90-95f when we are there and is just about right.
We also have young children who hate cold water. That's my excuse and im sticking to it.
