Nashua Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Nashua 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 Nashua's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (May 6 to May 27) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with October 1 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Nashua pool calendar
Opening — target May 13
Open by May 13 — a two-week head start on the May 27 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline October 1
Hold the cover until September 22, then winterize by October 1, a week ahead of the October 8 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on Nashua'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26° | 25° | 31° | 41° | 53° | 63° | 72° | 72° | 68° | 57° | 45° | 34° |
The curve peaks near 73°F — comfortable-water months here usually involve a heater or a solar cover.
