The lap pool averages 23C throughout the season.
It is the only unheated outdoor pool in the mountains; it’s also in the coolest climate zone, yet the lap pool peaked at 29C on 1 February 2011!
The Pool *costs nothing* to heat, it is heated entirely by the sun.
In our new carbon-priced world could we ask for better efficiency?
This was achieved despite a very cool, wet summer.
As stated on ABC Radio in January 2011
“...this is the strongest La Nina ever recorded”*.
In the upper mountains December 2010 was the wettest in 15 years,
and the trend continued across the season:
19 rain days in January,
16 rain days in February,
22 rain days in March.
