I only tried to swim in the back pool once, but man was it cold. Was it just me or have others found it colder, too?
The main pool is so nice but often very busy.

The second Hojo pool sometimes dubbed " the quiet pool " is a touch cooler but I haven't found it too cold to swim in. Then again, I've gotten the polar bear patch at more than a few summer camps.

The main pool probably has many things contributing to it being warmer such as

1. being shallower - I think the second pool is 8 feet - the main pool is barely 5 at the deep end

2. more direct sunlight - second pool is surrounded by buildings

3. here's the big one - more kids :eek: ( watchout where the huskies go...)

Not to mention the icebergs.

In the week I stayed in the HoJo, I never thought to use the pool.

Yes, its winter- but the winter in California is like summer in Northern Alberta. Hence, outdoor swimming in February in California!

The last time we stayed at the Hojo it was very hot & the "quiet" pool didn't seem colder but it was so hot outside we were just glad to be in the pool.
