Alexandria Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Alexandria 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.
The bar compresses Alexandria's whole pool year into one lane rope: gray floats for the off-season, hollow teal for the March 3–March 24 opening window, solid teal for swim weeks, hollow amber for the closing stretch that ends November 13. Wherever the today marker sits, the nearest color change is your next appointment.
The Alexandria pool calendar
Opening — target March 10
Open by March 10 — a two-week head start on the March 24 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 13
The window opens November 3 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 13, a week ahead of the November 27 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Alexandria'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49° | 50° | 56° | 63° | 70° | 78° | 82° | 83° | 81° | 73° | 62° | 53° |
Warmest water typically June–September (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
