Pools open year round?

[Stefani P.]

Wondering if the resort pools are open year-round? I'm thinking of taking a trip next December or that following January. Want to know if we will be able to utilize any pools

Yes they are. And heated to 82 also.

You will see shorter hours in the Winter however-Summer hours this year are 9:00 AM-11:00 PM for most,if not all, main Pools.

Winter hours will be shorter-at Surfboard Bay in January the hours were 10:00 AM-9:00 PM on "hot" days and they would shorten the hours to Noon-8:00 PM on the really cold days(we just had a couple of those.)

Just note that "some" resort pools could be have maintenance that time of year. For instance, select parts of Storm Along Bay are sometimes closed then. Some resort pools are closed. But that's the exception, not the norm. Just be open to anything that may come your way. But yes, if open, nice and heated!

If it is VERY cold they close. I've been there for such a time. Low 40s down to 30s and they were closed thank goodness. Because at that point it's not the water but the air on anything that was in the warm water.

Yep. My wife and I were staying at POP in early December of 2010. It was about 65 degrees but the sun was bright and being from Michigan this was a beautiful spring day to us. We spent the afternoon in the pool and sunbathing. It was funny hearing the little kids walking by with their parents, "Se mom, they're in the pool. How come we can't do it?" The lifeguards were a hoot. All wrapped up in gloves, winter coats, leggings, scarfs and hats. I aksed the one lifeguard how ther heck he was goping to be able to jump in and save my life if I was drowning wearing all that clothing. The kid smiled and said, "Sir, the pool is only 4.5 foot deep, stand up".

We were staying at BWI for marathon weekend this past January, and several days were so cold they closed down the feature pool. The quiet pools were still open I believe--or at least the hot tubs were!
