Inglewood Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Inglewood 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 Inglewood's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the March 8–March 29 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends December 2. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Inglewood pool calendar
Opening — target March 15
Target March 15; the practical window runs March 8–March 29, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around March 29. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline December 2
Hold the cover until November 22, then winterize by December 2, a week ahead of the January 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 Inglewood'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 58° | 58° | 60° | 61° | 64° | 66° | 70° | 72° | 72° | 70° | 66° | 59° |
The curve peaks near 72°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
