Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Victorville 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.
Victorville, CA — 156 swim days a yearThe bar compresses Victorville's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the April 6–April 27 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends November 1. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.

The window opens October 22 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 1, a week ahead of the November 11 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Victorville'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 45° | 47° | 51° | 56° | 63° | 71° | 79° | 81° | 78° | 69° | 57° | 47° |
Warmest water typically July–September (peaking near 81°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
Every station tells its own story: compare this curve with Vallejo's pool season and Visalia's — neighboring normals stations can shift the windows by a week or more. The full ranking lives on the California season index.
