Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Cedar Park's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (February 28 to March 21) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 13 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.

Cedar Park pool season FAQ

When should I open my pool in Cedar Park, TX?

Open by March 7 — the model places Cedar Park's 61°F crossing about two weeks later, and every warm day you wait pushes the water toward the 65°F algae zone. The Cedar Park opening guide has the 12-step sequence.

When should I close my pool in Cedar Park?

Close by November 13: cool water keeps its winter chemistry, but freeze damage is the hard stop. The Cedar Park closing guide sequences the work backward from that date.

How long is the swim season in Cedar Park?

Cedar Park averages 177 days a year with normal highs of 80°F or better — right on the statewide median. The Texas season index ranks all 68 covered cities by the same metric.

How warm does pool water get in Cedar Park?

An unheated pool near Cedar Park typically peaks around 85°F in high summer and bottoms out near 48°F in winter, spending roughly 4 months at or above the 78°F comfort line most swimmers prefer. The month-by-month curve above shows the whole cycle; the methodology page explains the ±5°F error bars.
