High Point Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one High Point 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.
Each dot on the bar is one week of High Point's typical year, colored by what the model says that week is for: gray weeks are off-season, hollow teal marks the opening window (March 24–April 14), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending October 28. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The High Point pool calendar
Opening — target March 31
Open by March 31 — a two-week head start on the April 14 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline October 28
Hold the cover until October 18, then winterize by October 28, a week ahead of the November 5 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on High Point'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42° | 43° | 49° | 58° | 66° | 73° | 78° | 79° | 76° | 67° | 56° | 47° |
Warmest water typically July–August (peaking near 79°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
