Lubbock Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Lubbock 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 Lubbock'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 22–April 12), solid teal is swim season, and hollow amber is the closing window ending October 30. The black marker is today — its position against the colors is the entire executive summary.
The Lubbock pool calendar
Opening — target March 29
Open by March 29 — a two-week head start on the April 12 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline October 30
Hold the cover until October 20, then winterize by October 30, a week ahead of the November 11 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Lubbock's typical-year water curve: the same EWMA model as the live widget, run on the 1991–2020 normals instead of this week's weather.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42° | 44° | 49° | 59° | 66° | 76° | 80° | 82° | 76° | 68° | 56° | 46° |
Warmest water typically July–August (peaking near 82°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
