Will BCV resale price fall if SAB is too cold to use?

[jade1]

OK maybe an over reaction but SAB is a big draw for BCV, if it is 78 degrees it will not be used much at all-I know because we control a community pool at our cabin and 82 is borderline too cool. Summer it will be fine, but not the other 6 months.

 

[rogerram]

nice thought, but it will never happen. You get people like me from the northeast who will swim if it is 50 degrees

. But you can always hope something drives the prices down.

jade1: I'm from MN too, and you know as well as I do that any pool that's 70 or warmer will suit us just fine coming down in the winter. Especially on days like today when we have a foot of snow already on the ground and another half a foot on the way!

Red Cross likes 78 to 82 degrees. Also 4 degrees above 78 could use as much as 40% more energy.

I don't know about resale price, but it sure would be nice if it was a little easier to book there!!!

LOL!!!! I needed a good laugh this morning.

Also a Minnesotan - and we started swimming in the non heated lake in Minnesota in May, and usually took our last swim on a hot day in October. If we get six months of swimming in here in the frozen North in a lake that had ice on it five weeks before, I think 78 degrees at SAB will work for all but the few coldest weeks of the year.

All a matter of perspective! My kids are in the pool at home, as soon as we open it for the summer. Water temperarture........................usually about 55 degrees!!

Oh...GOOD

Maybe people won't come.... and....... I won't need to lurk around the pool, looking under chairs for footwear, t-shirts, H2O bottles..etc, or, anything that tells me someone IS here.....
......before I remove the unattended towels on "reserved" beach chairs !!!!

OPS...that's another sore topic..wont go there.

Where is this 78 degree thing coming from? I had heard all of the WDW pools were heated to 84 degrees? Are they really going to lower it to 78 to save energy? That might be a deal breaker for our family. If that happens we would actually consider selling. We stay at Marriott timeshares and one thing we hate about them is that the pools are always too cold. We have always appreciated the warmer pools at WDW and for us it is was a major selling feature. I'll own Marriott off site for a fraction of the cost if this plays out. Thanks for the scoop if you guys have it or is this speculation.

p.s. we are from the freezing northeast (Saratoga Springs) where it is 25 degrees with 25 mile an hour winds right now. We still don't like 78 degrees. 84 ir more like it.

I much prefer the 99 degrees of the hot tub!

I stayed at the BCV last December and it was definitely too cold in the water to swim. We went to the quiet pool, better, but the hot tubs were great!!

I'm a big baby when it comes to water temperature. I need it warm or I won't go in.

It could be 0º out and I'd love to be in a 78º pool. I don't like it to warm but them I learned to swim in New England waters and even in the summer the ocean isn't much over 60º.

From a personal perspective, I wouldn't care if they even had a pool at BCV since it's not something I generally use anyway. However, one would think it only makes sense to "boost" the water temps a bit in the cooler months and then drop them in the warmer months when the sun does most of the work in heating the pools. I can't imagine running the heaters at a constant temperature year round regardless of outside air temperatures is the most efficient way to conserve energy.

A pool feels colder based on the difference between the water temperature and the ambiant air temperature, so if consistent feeling is the issue, then the equipment should be set to have the water temperature lower in winter and higher in summer. FWIW.

As I admitted I'm not a swimmer but if memory serves, the only time that lower air temperatures affect swimmers is when they leave the water, not while they are in it. Maybe they shouldn't heat the pools at all in the cooler months to take maximum advantage of your theory.

I don't know many leisure swimmers who can spend their entire time in the pool totally underwater.

Thanks cobbler. Say it isn't so!!!!!! Are these posters considered reliable sources?
