Queen Creek Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
Queen Creek's whole pool calendar, condensed: when the water warms, when it cools, and where today falls between those edges. Use the opening guide and closing guide for the step-by-step work; keep this page for the dates.
The bar compresses Queen Creek's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the February 18–March 11 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends November 23. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Queen Creek pool calendar
Opening — target February 25
Target February 25; the practical window runs February 18–March 11, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around March 11. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline November 23
The window opens November 13 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 23, a week ahead of the December 11 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Queen Creek's own normals — the shape of a typical year, not a forecast. The widget above shows where the current year actually sits.
