Pools are like boats in the harbor. Many are never or seldom used.
If you had a boat, would you use it much?

Harry sometimes takes his boats out of the bath tub and puts them in a
pool. He calls it blue water sailing.

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.


That is not unusual. 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


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.
