I apologize for the floating things in my pool. As it is only January, it's too cold to swim, so it doesn't get cleaned quite so often. I really wish it were warm enough to swim in, though. The sun was out today, so it was warm, but it was only 10 degrees Celsius/50 degrees Fahrenheit. Meaning that even after a couple hours inside, my feet are still cold after I dipped them in the water.
The building of the pool took around a month, as far as I can remember. They started last year in the beginning of March, and it was ready by the first week of April. The very first chance I got to go swimming, which was 9 PM at night in early April. It was still really chilly, but I wasn't acclimatized to Texas heat at that time, so it wasn't so bad.
During later spring and summer and most of fall, it's gorgeous to swim in. In the morning, when the temperature is probably the coolest, the sun is on the pool. By 3 or 4 PM, the sun has dipped behind the house, and it's nice and shady, but the water is still amazingly warm. During the summer, the pool actually gets to be over 28 degrees Celsius/83 degrees Fahrenheit, which sounds hot, but is actually most likely cooler than the air.
All year long, even when it's too cold to swim, there's always the hot tub/spa!

Thanks very much! (:
ReplyDeleteIt's a big pool. But what good would its size be if you can't swim in it, right? Have you considered about giving it an update? In cold days like these, a thermostat can be very comforting. It can be quite costly though. The good thing is you get to use it even during hot days. It's a pity to only be staring at your pool! ;D
