Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is Victoria's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (February 9 to March 2) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with November 30 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.

The window opens November 20 once water leaves the algae zone; the model deadline is November 30, a week ahead of the December 9 freeze normal.
