Savannah Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of Savannah's pool year: both model windows, the estimated water-temperature curve, and today's live position on the season bar. The detailed checklists live on the opening and closing guides; this page is the calendar you check between them.
Each dot on the bar is one week of Savannah's typical year, colored by what the model says that week is for: gray weeks are off-season, hollow teal marks the opening window (February 28–March 21), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending November 17. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The Savannah pool calendar
Opening — target March 7
Target March 7; the practical window runs February 28–March 21, and the 7-day mean crosses the 61°F threshold around March 21. Cold-water starts are the cheap ones.
Closing — deadline November 17
The window opens November 7 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 17, a week ahead of the November 30 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Savannah'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 51° | 52° | 57° | 64° | 71° | 78° | 82° | 83° | 80° | 74° | 63° | 56° |
Warmest water typically June–September (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
