Warm up, darn it

I know I should be happy with 72 in April in NW PA, but my goodness, I really really want to be swimming.

Y'all should post currnent pics of your (southern, for the most part) pools so I can live vicariously through you.

I disconnected my solar panels yesterday because the water was at 85 degrees.

There needs to be a button to subtract from people's reputation for bragging about having warm water when others don't. Kind of a forum smackdown.

Water was 87 here in SE Louisiana yesterday.

I checked our 26K gallon pool last night and were at 88 degrees and climbing here in south central Texas. Helps when your having a few days of 95 plus degree heat. Rest of the week is supposed to be in the mid 80's thank goodness.

Baaahahahaha! You won't be that envious when I'm fighting mustard in the late summer, and the pool feels like bathwater, yuk!

Unfortunately, we usually have similar oppressive heat in the summer. Not for as long or as often though. I often tell people that living in the midwest has all the advantages of the North in the winter and the South in the summer.

What on earth is wrong with 72 degrees? It only takes a minute to get used to it, and it makes for a wonderful early morning wake up swim! I was in a 73 degree pool this morning for a "before work workout". Of course with he solar heater on all day, it is now above 80 degrees. I think water in the high 60's and low 70's is quite nice!

It's all in what you're used to. I've lived in northern ohio my whole life. I absolutely love a pool that stays in the 70's. A pool SHOULD cool you off; not be bath water. There's nothing like going to bed after a late night swim when it's been humid as heck in a 72 or 73 degree pool....I can feel it now!
