Before it was just a tepid tub.

My Daughter’s entire pool is like a hot tub. AZ has been warm all summer.

My pool is still at or below 80F. I don’t think it’ll ever get warm. Though it is covered with tarps so I guess that helps keep it cool.

And yet all the Olympic size unheated outdoor pools where I live are cold in the morning. The one at our county aquatics center never opens before noon. My arthritis wishes the indoor lap pool was a couple of degrees warmer.

What climate change? It is summer. It`s warm.

Ya, just sit in the stock tank late afternoon and it’s real hot.

My first thought was that they’ll sit in there until it boils, never having noticed the gradual increase.

That sounds like SoCal.
