The pools in Texas have a freeze guard that kicks on all of the pumps at ~35F.

It has been a relaxing two days.

Just swam for an hour.   :)

Lots of hot tubs around here for winter use, but don’t know of anyone that keeps their pool full for the winter

We swam in our outdoor pool on Christmas.

38F Christmas Morning.

Took 12 hours to heat the pool to 80F.

First time in 15 years we ever used the Pool Heater.

Is -0 colder than 0
Answer is supposedly yes

0 to 1 is classed as 0
But 0 - -1 is classed as -0

Must be some logic in there somewhere
Either way it would be cold .

Cheers

Nick, It might be a good day for an outdoor T125 and/or 95G cool run.
You get great steam plumes in the cold.

I thought it was a good idea too, but I think I would have made the naughty list if I was outside playing while we were with family for Christmas  :D
I got around that by including my family and ran an engine right in front of them on the fireplace hearth.
