We recommend booking your pool opening as early as March for a May or early June start, and your pool closing in August or early September to secure your preferred date before the fall rush. Tri-City Pools gets busy quickly as the season changes — booking early guarantees your spot and helps avoid any gaps in pool protection heading into winter.
