West Valley City Pool Season: the Year on One Bar
Last updated: July 15, 2026 · dates · water temp
This is the one-page view of West Valley City's pool year: both model windows, the estimated water-temperature curve, and today's live position on the season bar. The detailed checklists live on the opening and closing guides; this page is the calendar you check between them.
Reading it takes ten seconds: 52 dots, one per week. Solid teal is West Valley City's swim season; the hollow teal run before it (April 24 to May 15) is when to open; the hollow amber run after is when to close, with October 11 as the deadline; gray is the covered season. Today's marker shows where you stand in that cycle right now.
The West Valley City pool calendar
Opening — target May 1
Open by May 1 — a two-week head start on the May 15 crossing keeps startup chemistry small and beats the local service rush.
Closing — deadline October 11
Hold the cover until October 1, then winterize by October 11, a week ahead of the October 31 freeze normal. Late and cold beats early and warm.
