Austin's Pools: An Avoid-At-All-Costs Guide.
Leftists Work to Keep You Cool—because we all know they are freezing your finances and free speech.

It's summer in Austin, and that means one thing: beating the heat. Thank God we're not in California, am I right? No pools there since the libs outlawed water.
Anyways, y'all know the drill: the city's Aquatic Division runs 34 pools and 10 splash pads. Most are free and open only during summer.
Austin’s Most Popular Liberal Swimmin' Holes:
You know the spots: Barton Springs and Deep Eddy pools. A small admissions fee to fund the city's latest woke BS: $5 and under for Austin residents, depending on age, and $9 and under for out-of-towners.
Barton Springs Pool
Barton Springs is where all the hippies go. It can get busy, but there's room for everyone, even your overweight lil' snowflakes. At peak hours, watch those springboard divers show off, eliciting applause from the woke crowd.

Finding a parking spot will be harder than finding a conservative in California. Construction closed the north lot in February, so y'all better get there early or bring your walking shoes. There are pay lots, but we're not made of money, so head to the dirty, unpaved lot under the MoPac Expressway. It's free, but watch out for potholes bigger than Biden's budget deficit!
Deep Eddy Pool
Deep Eddy is Texas’s oldest pool. It's got that vintage charm, like an old Winchester rifle, and a zero-depth entry on the shallow end, great for the kids.
They want your hard-earned cash here, so pay with that if you can. The card machines are slower than a tortoise with two left feet. No shade where the line forms either, so bring your umbrellas, y'all!
The parking lot here is free but busy. Watch out for those folks waiting to snag your spot when you leave. Can't let a good conservative spot go to waste! Free spots are available in an unpaved lot off Veterans Drive, just west of the pool.
