hoW early is too early to open the pool in Delaware?

With this warm spell here is SE Pennsylvania, I am really getting the itch to open. Wanted to open the second week of april. I usually open the first weekend in May, but may push that back to this weekend, which is the the last weekend in april.

I know it will be a little bit before it's ready for swimming, but my family usually hosts a big Mother's Day brunch, and although there is not usually swimming, people enjoy sitting around the pool and chatting after the meal.....

Plus, I am a runner, so who knows, if I come back from a long run, and I am hot enough, I may just jump in, albiet for only a minute or two....

My pool is now technically open in North-Central NJ. A bit cold to swim but the water is balanced and it's clean. Next is getting it warmed up--solar cover and solar panels.

I'm in North West NJ and just got out of my pool to check my e-mail. Water is 78 and crystal clear. Brought it up from 47 to 65 with the heatpump and then my 2 2'x20' solar panels have done the rest.

I'm really feeling good! Opened my pool in NY (just north of NYC) last week. Water 48 - solar on - today, the water is about 80. Woohoo!!! Those extra panels I put on last year are sweet!
