Odessa Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
One bar, one year, one Odessa 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 Odessa's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (March 7 to March 28) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 6 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The Odessa pool calendar
Opening — target March 14
Open by March 14 — a two-week head start on the March 28 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline November 6
The window opens October 27 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 6, a week ahead of the November 16 freeze normal.
Estimated water temperature by month
This is Odessa'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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 44° | 46° | 53° | 62° | 69° | 79° | 82° | 83° | 78° | 70° | 59° | 49° |
Warmest water typically June–September (peaking near 83°F); heaters and covers shift any month up.
