LOL at the warm water not keeping you out but cool water does. I have to say I am the same way. No more pool time for me----too burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr now for me.

Seeeee..... when you get your new pool, you will get a spa for that very reason. Nick and I've discovered (we're slow to figure out these things) that the spa is keeping us in the main pool a little longer. When we get cold in the pool, we jump in the heated spa (it takes maybe ten minutes), and then when too warm, we jump back into the pool. It doesn't seem to cost much to heat up the spa and then turn the heater off. Also, what is working for now, if we want to stay in the main pool area, I just turn spa mode off and pool mode on. That wonderful warm water comes out of the main pool return jets. We only leave the heater on for the time we're in the water which isn't long enough to heat the entire pool (and empty my bank account), but it's wonderful to swim up to a return jet and get warmed before back to playing in the water. I'm curious to see how many more days this gives us of swim season.
