Poinciana Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Poinciana 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.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Poinciana's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (January 12 to February 2) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with December 30 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Poinciana pool calendar
Opening — target January 19
Target January 19; the practical window runs January 12–February 2, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around February 2. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline December 30
The window opens December 25 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is December 30, a week ahead of the January 6 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Poinciana'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 61° | 61° | 64° | 69° | 74° | 79° | 82° | 83° | 82° | 79° | 71° | 65° |
Warmest water typically June–October (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
