Austin Swimming Pools
With Austin’s active population and soaring
summer temperatures, it’s easy to see that swimming would be
a popular pastime. Pools fill with children and adults alike during
the summer months, and many locals enjoy a swim in the area lakes.
Note, however, that swimming is prohibited in Town Lake.
Barton Springs Pool
2200 Barton Springs Rd. (in Zilker Park)
512/476-9044
You’ll find dedicated swimmers braving the constant 68 degree
spring water that makes this one of Texas’ most beautiful (and
chilliest) year-round swimming holes. Located in Zilker Park, the
pool includes a diving board and also a shallow end for children
to enjoy, but maintains the look of a natural swimming hole. Restroom
and changing facilities available.
Deep Eddy Pool
401 Deep Eddy (Northwest Austin)
512/472-8546
Swim laps or just hang out at this spring-fed pool. Its cool waters
are a favorite with dedicated swimmers and young kids.
Stacy Pool
800 E. Live Oak (South Austin)
512/476-4521
This spring-fed pool is another beautiful spot to cool off during
Austin’s long, hot summer. During the cooler months, the warm
water of this artesian hole draws dedicated swimmers.
