This communication presents a thermal model for the performance of an open swimming pool. It is seen from numerical calculations that the combination of a pool cover and solar collectors (with an area equal to 75 per cent of that of the pool) enables the swimming season to be extended in Delhi, India to forty‐seven weeks as compared to the period of twenty‐nine weeks for an open swimming pool.
