New Braunfels Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
New Braunfels's whole pool calendar, condensed: when the water warms, when it cools, and where today falls between those edges. Use the opening guide and closing guide for the step-by-step work; keep this page for the dates.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is New Braunfels's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (February 26 to March 19) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 11 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The New Braunfels pool calendar
Opening — target March 5
Open by March 5 — a two-week head start on the March 19 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 11
The window opens November 6 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 11, a week ahead of the November 18 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
Monthly averages of the site's water model run on New Braunfels's own normals — the shape of a typical year, not a forecast. The widget above shows where the current year actually sits.

| 50° | 51° | 57° | 64° | 71° | 78° | 82° | 83° | 81° | 73° | 63° | 54° |
Warmest water typically June–September (peaking near 84°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
