We'll be there December 1-9 and plan on swimming. The kids have rash-guard swim shirts that they wear to swim in our wicked-cold New England water (in August!) and they'll be fine for WDW. DH and I personally don't feel compelled to swim in December - I'm just happy sitting in the sun watching the kids swim. This trip we'll have the pools at SSR, AKV and WL to enjoy. Is the quiet pool at VWL still closed?
