The days get longer, the nights get shorter and the weather gets hotter. The sweet salvation of a swimming pool is calling your name. Looking to take a dip or searching for some quick plans for your kids who start their summer break next week? Here’s a list of spots where you can take a dive in Austin this summer.
While the vast majority of neighborhood pools are free, some spots require a bit of cash to make a splash. Bartholomew, Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, Springwoods, Sheffield Northwest and Garrison pools charge admission fees from March to October. Some locations may temporarily close due to weather, maintenance or unexpected hiccups, so check online for announcements before heading out.
