The bar compresses Spring Hill'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 25. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.

Winterize by December 25. The model holds the deadline a week ahead of Spring Hill's NOAA 50% first-freeze date, so the plumbing is protected before the first hard night. The full sequence is in the Spring Hill closing guide.
