February Resort Swimming?

[Glite]

Does anyone know if it is hot enough to go swimming in February at the resorts? I figure that it is, but did not know for sure.

We were there February of last year and the weather was temperate at best. In the mornings it was pretty chilly but usually warmed up in the afternoons. Luckily, all the pools at the resorts are heated so you should be okay. Most of the pool areas also have hot tubs as well.

We were there last February and swam on all three days. It was warm (not hot) but when there is a foot of snow on the ground back home, almost any temp above 65 will get me into the pool!

I think you'll find a lot of Northerners in the pools no matter how "cold" it is down there. Anything is better than a winter in the north! Hah!

We have hit & miss weather in Feb. 2 years ago we were there and it was beautiful (at least 75 every day and sunny - and yes we are northerners so we probably thought it was nicer than some of the southern folk would think). We have had friends there in Feb. also that had to go out and buy coats and hats b/c it was so cold. So you never really know. Cross your fingers and hope for lots of sunshine!

Exactly
It depends where you are from....

We have been at WDW during February for the past three years. One year it was gorgeous - light jacket in the a.m., shorts and tank tops in the afternoons. Another year it was a heat wave - almost 100 for much of the trip. Last year it was freezing - we needed jackets, hats and gloves even during the afternoons. And on all three of those trips we swam in the pools. The kicker is if it's cool, you'll be fine in the water, but COLD when you get out. We brought our kids' bathrobes and brought them down to the pool with us for when they got out and dried off. Worked like a charm!

We always go down at the end of Feb and it really is hit or miss. Being from New Hampshire makes the Florida weather always great. I go in the pools no matter what but since you are from LA, you might find it cool.

Thanks for all the post; I quess we will play it by ear on that one. If the pool is heated, then I'll go. If it is really cold, theb I'll get in the hot tub and I'll watch DS swim as I know he will be in the pool cold or warm.
