The pools are heated but the temperatures outside can be a little chilly, especially after getting out. If you are using one of the quiet pools there is usually a laundry facility close by. I just throw a couple of towels in the dryer a few minutes before I make everyone get out. It works two ways: my daughter loves to wrap up in a blanket or towel in this case right out of the dryer so I don't have as much fuss about getting out og the pool, and, it keeps her from getting cold when she gets out. It's worth the money I spend on the dryer.
