Chandler Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of Chandler's pool year: both model windows, the estimated water-temperature curve, and today's live position on the season bar. The detailed checklists live on the opening and closing guides; this page is the calendar you check between them.
Each dot on the bar is one week of Chandler's typical year, colored by what the model says that week is for: gray weeks are off-season, hollow teal marks the opening window (February 13–March 6), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending November 28. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The Chandler pool calendar
Opening — target February 20
Open by February 20 — a two-week head start on the March 6 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 28
Hold the cover until November 18, then winterize by November 28, a week ahead of the December 5 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Chandler's own normals — the shape of a typical year, not a forecast. The widget above shows where the current year actually sits.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 54° | 56° | 60° | 66° | 73° | 82° | 89° | 91° | 88° | 79° | 68° | 57° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 91°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
