About a half dozen of our near-neighbors have nice in-ground pools, but in all the years we've lived here, I've only seen one of these pools being used during summer pool season. Obviously, my casual observations during "drive bys" aren't scientific, but you would think on the really steamy summer days here, you'd see bunches of kids in the pools. Pools are like boats in the harbor. Many are never or seldom used. If you had a boat, would you use it much? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

There are plenty of people around here who never use their pools but that is not me. I am in it several times a day for about 8-9 months a year. Dec/Jan/Feb it doesn't get used much but if the kids are here or something, I do have a 330KBTU gas heater. Realistically, kids don't care. It is seldom above 70 and that is warmer than Lake Michigan ever seems to get up where they are. It was the middle of August when we were there and it was 69 |

We used a bunch of those inflatable solar disks one year. They did make a difference but had serious durability issues in addition to being dirt collectors. Much as I like having the pool heated it has to go off in January and February. The heat pump just can't keep up in cool weather. If I had my druthers I'd be in the Caribbean that time of year. |

It is seldom above 70 and that is warmer than Lake Michigan ever seems to get up where they are. It was the middle of August when we were there and it was 69 Long Island Sound was cold enough for me when I was a kid and eager to swim. I don't recall the Sound water temps back then, but I doubt they were 70 or higher. One summer my dad sold a truckload of rowboats to a friend of his who owned a summer camp in New Hampshire. I went along on the delivery and when we got there, I saw all the kids swimming so I decided to do so, too. The lake temp was incredibly cold to me, so I got right out. Guess it depends on what you are used to... On my first trip to California in the early 1970s, I wanted to swim in the Pacific. Too cold for me, got right out. |
