If you are staying for the weekend, do you swim in the morning or is it better in the evening??

We almost always swim later in the evening, after getting back from the parks.

You have to check the pool hours. Depending on the time of year, they can be pretty short. We were at POFQ a couple of weeks ago, and the pool was only open from 10am - 9pm, so we swam around dinner time.

If I have a choice, I swim in the evening.

Personally, I love an afternoon swim to relax and refresh midday. I don't think I'd swim in the morning, though, so my second vote would be evening.

We typically swim in the afternoon, during the warmest part of the day. For my family the whole purpose of the swim break is to get out of the parks during the hottest, most crowded part of the day. So an afternoon swim is usually our daily routine.

We've had much more success with afternoon swimming. As mentioned above, it's a mid-day break from the parks. And depending on the time of the year, evening thunderstorms can mess up the plans for evening swimming!

We typically swim in the afternoon ... it's our break from the park and our chance to relax a bit before heading out to our evening park time !!

We like an afternoon break. We normally swim in the afternoon and then return to the parks after dinner.

we tend to swim midday after the first park, before the second park of the day.
