Indio Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Indio pool. The season bar below draws everything the model knows — opening window, prime season, closing window — against today's date, with the working details one click away on the opening and closing pages.
The bar compresses Indio's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the January 18–February 8 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends December 6. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Indio pool calendar
Opening — target January 25
Target January 25; the practical window runs January 18–February 8, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around February 8. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline December 6
The window opens November 26 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is December 6, a week ahead of the December 27 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Indio's typical-year water curve: the same EWMA model as the live widget, run on the 1991–2020 normals instead of this week's weather.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 57° | 60° | 66° | 72° | 78° | 86° | 92° | 94° | 92° | 84° | 72° | 60° |
Warmest water typically May–October (peaking near 95°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
