Just so everyone knows, I’m here in the panhandle and there are lots of people in the pool, lol. I may have to go buy a suit and try it out. I didn’t bring one based on the comments. Live and learn! They say it’s heated to 85 degrees.

It's 48 in Destin right now. You really want to get out of an 85 degree pool in a wet suit? Then what sit on a lounge chair? Go for it!

At that temperature, I think you're right; a wetsuit would be the answer....

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
I've never make it to the Rockies in the winter but have seen pictures of pools and more often hot tubs with steam filtering up. You would think if they could make it work there, they could make it work in central and N. Florida. Our local beach has an indoor/outdoor pool at one of the hotels with a small area outside so you can look up at the stars in sub freezing weather and then swimming back into the building and remain nice and warm.

We are at Marriott's Legend's Edge at Bay Point. No one has been in the pool, not even the little kids.

We where up north this weekend (Michigan) where its was a balmy 36 Degree's no wind/calm overcast and my Neighbor was just coming in from his hot tub, also the ski lodge has an outdoor pool open all season so it all depends on what your used too.
