Scumbria, RE:"Is the pool air conditioned? ;^) The Gulf Coast waters in Texas get up to 90 degrees in the summer, which makes swimming less than refreshing."... I was born an raised in FL (probably why I like the heat), not too far from where John lives so while the surface temperature in the Gulf does approach 90F in late summer I can say it's still refreshing. On the east coast of FL where I now live the temperature maxes out at about 86F. A little more refreshing. Also less variation in temperature on a yearly basis...only down to about 72F in the winter...which is about as high as the sea water temperature gets off San Diego on a hot year. South of Point Conception the water temperature will breifly drop into the high 40s during a period of upwelling. North of Point Conception lows in the 40s are all to common. A little too refreshing for a dip... Anything under 80 and a wet suit is nice.

Scumbria, re: "Is the pool air conditioned?" Actually, sort of. I have a solar heating system for the pool, nice for the winter months. In the summer, I run it at night, when the air is SLIGHTLY cooler, and it will bring down the water temperature a few degrees (from the upper 80's). And Jim is right, after adapting to FL, water temperatures below 80 almost cause a heart attack. You get chilled on a 70 degree day with a breeze, if you are in the shade. John
