Last updated: July 25, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Leesburg 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.
Leesburg, FL — 216 swim days a yearThe bar compresses Leesburg's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the January 14–February 4 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends December 31. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.

Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Leesburg'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60° | 61° | 65° | 70° | 75° | 80° | 83° | 83° | 83° | 79° | 71° | 65° |
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 Lauderhill's pool season and Lehigh Acres's — neighboring normals stations can shift the windows by a week or more. The full ranking lives on the Florida season index.
