No, I gave up on year round swimming pretty early! I am just hoping to be able to swim into early October - right now because of the sun's angle our temperature has already dropped to 80F (from 94F just two weeks ago!!) 'Course, I was lazy and hadn't put the lily pads back on, or got the HeatSavr fish in, but in previous years when I did do all the right things it was still too cold by early September to swim regularly, even when the daytime air temp was sweltering.

I was picturing turning on the heat pump in early April, off for late May through mid August, then back on September through October. The manufacturers' information makes this sound eminently reasonable...I just wondered about real life experience.
