Once you are in you'll be fine and cold water swimming is good for you. You could also get a wet suit.

Anyone have a link to the rules concerning pool usage ? Ours is only open for a few months a year and the committee says it can’t be open any other time because they require a controller, but I’ve friends who have apartments where their pool is open all year round

Depends on the size of the pool. You need a lifeguard if the pool area is over a certain amount. We have 3 pools and close one of them in the Winter to avoid the need for a lifeguard. Larger than 200 sq metres I believe.

My pool was 10x5. After over 20 years, I always swam on new-years day! ( Not for long!). It would probably kill me now! PS: I never employed a life-guard. V

No I get all that cold and stuff but I’m wondering is there a Spanish law that insists you have a controller
