Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
No opening date, no closing deadline: Kendall's season bar below is one long swim window with a comfort gradient. The spring refresh and winter care pages hold the practical checklists for a pool that never sleeps; this page is the dashboard that says which of them applies today.
Kendall, FL — 291 swim days a yearOne color, 52 dots: Kendall's bar has no gray because the model never finds a week that forces a closing. Use the monthly water estimates below instead — the swing from 67°F to 84°F is what actually shapes swimming and maintenance here, from heater decisions at the cool end to sanitizer demand across the 291 days of genuine summer.
The Kendall pool calendar
Spring refresh
The model finds no closing week in Kendall — maintenance is continuous, with a 291-day prime stretch of 80°F+ afternoons.
Winter care
No forced dates: the 7-day mean never leaves the swim-viable range (floor 66.5°F). Spring refresh and winter care replace opening and closing.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Kendall'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 68° | 68° | 70° | 73° | 77° | 81° | 83° | 84° | 83° | 81° | 76° | 71° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 84°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
Every station tells its own story: compare this curve with Jacksonville's pool season and Kissimmee's — neighboring normals stations can shift the windows by a week or more. The full ranking lives on the Florida season index.
Kendall pool season FAQ

Rarely. With 291 days of 80°F+ highs a year, most Kendall owners run the pool continuously and simply trim pump hours in the cool season. If you do want a shutdown checklist, the Kendall closing guide covers the mild-winter variant.
