Our pool water never gets too hot, even with the temps are in the high 90's like we had the last couple of weeks. Maybe there is enough shade to keep the pool water at a reasonable temperature. We also had a pool when we lived in Dallas. The temps get really high there, and still we didn't have pool water that was too warm. Go figure.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-62023754272926463652009-07-07T13:16:49.779-05:002009-07-07T13:16:49.779-05:00Yeah, in Miami you need pool CHILLERS, not heaters...Yeah, in Miami you need pool CHILLERS, not heaters.

We'd play volleyball in the pool, all run around the edge of the circular pool, then float in the current. I miss having a pool!Mo Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644902211036445323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-15955014294033770902009-07-07T09:53:38.977-05:002009-07-07T09:53:38.977-05:00Hi, Terry--LOL on the pool-loving dog :-)!

Once each summer, Dad would turn up the pool heater for a few days so Mom could feel more comfy, but I never enjoyed the warmer water as much as the refreshing cooler temperatures.Terry McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557335434947611768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-37852058221302206582009-07-07T07:49:15.061-05:002009-07-07T07:49:15.061-05:00Backyard swimming pools (I grew up in Los Angeles)...Backyard swimming pools (I grew up in Los Angeles) were just coming into existence when I was growing up. (Yes, I'm OLD!). We loved being invited to someone's house to swim.<br /><br />When we moved to Miami, it was a jolt to see all the swimming pools inside screened patios--often only a step out of someone's living/family/Florida room. <br /><br />Our second Florida house had a pool-the kids were old enough so I wasn't worried about them falling in. However, having a pool was so 'normal' since almost everyone did, they rarely used it after the first year or so. (Plus, it's so dang HOT out there, and the water gets to bathtub temperature).<br /><br />Our dog seemed to like the pool the best, even breaking through the screening to 'rescue' the kids when they went swimming.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.com
