Last Day of Swimming

With the nights getting longer and cooler, the pool temperature is plummeting.  We had our last day of swimming on Saturday. It was 68 degrees outside, 78 degrees in the pool.  The children and Kevin enjoyed it in spite of the water being a tad chilly.  I was a happy, wimpy, lifeguard...I had no desire to swim in that water!



Kevin worked on the pool in a first step towards closing it for the winter.  He spends a lot of time cleaning it, throwing in the proper chemicals, and keeping the pumps running.  Thank you, Kevin!

Ironically, the pool looks gorgeous right now!  We are in a constant battle against algae growing, but with the cooler temps the algae is discouraged.  I suspect the water temperature is close to 70 right now so...we're done.
